Daniel Ek: When an we expect Spotify in India?
Spotify launched in India on February 26, 2019, with the service going live at around 9:30 PM New York time and 8:00 AM India time on February 27, 2019245.
Prior to the launch, there were indications of Spotify's plans to enter the Indian market. In March 2018, Daniel Ek, Spotify's CEO, confirmed during an investor day presentation that Spotify was working on launching in India, although he did not specify a timeline at that time3.
The launch was slightly delayed due to a legal dispute with Warner Music Group, but the Bombay High Court ultimately denied the injunction request, allowing Spotify to proceed with its launch24.
