Spotify is a music-streaming service and is the most popular one in the US. Spotify is available in various countries but the Indian users are deprived of using it. This is because Spotify is not able to ink a deal with Indian authorities somehow.
This is why the streaming service is not available in India as of yet. However, you will not believe but Spotify is still very popular in India and there are many paying customers as well. Most of the users in India have a Spotify family plan from their relatives or friends in the US. Also, some of the users have resorted to using a VPN for this purpose.
But we know that this can be a hassle and you should not do it too. As it is illegal to stream content using VPN which virtually changes our location. Apart from that, VPN needs to be connected everytime you need to play on Spotify so it is a hassle in itself.
Now, we have got some good news for you. Spotify is (finally) going to launch in India if reports are to be believed. According to Variety, Spotify is officially launching in India very soon.
Now, you might think that Spotify’s launch reports have been coming from the past couple of years. But there is no firm timeline as to when the service will actually launch. Therefore, this report can be brushed off too.
No, that is not the case this time as Variety reports that the launch of Spotify in India will happen on January 31. They have added that the launch is scheduled for the end of January and the last day of January is the likeliest.
The present scenario for Spotify to tackle is that there won’t be enough non-English songs on their platform even after launch. Therefore, it is needed that Spotify adds Indian regional music for it to gain listeners who don’t have interest in English songs too.
