Jio Saavn

In India, the industry, digital distribution, is breaking ceilings in terms of providing entertainment, diversity in content, and widening the customer reach altogether. In which, online music streaming services are mostly leading the graphs. Jio Saavn also joined the race.

Well, studies show that music is associated directly with our mood, we connect more with music as it is with us for longer than movies or series, and it is one of the low time-consuming activities. With that being said, the importance of music streaming applications increases significantly. Music and a mobile application combined leads to one of the most important and most used assets by everyone in our daily lives. It certainly rules out the wait and gets the users right into the specific mood that they are hoping for.

Reliance Digital, as it is one of the biggest companies in India, had no intention to skip this opportunity to benefit its Indian customer base with the music of their choice and at their fingertips. Thus, in 2018, the two biggest online music streaming companies, Saavn and Jio Music, announced a merger. Eventually, it got re-branded as Jio Saavn.
