Buoyed by the successful launch of Gaana HotShots (short videos), live streaming and podcasts, India’s largest music streaming app, Gaana has consolidated its leadership position in the country’s audio OTT sector with over 185 million monthly active users.
The platform is currently powering more than 3.3 billion streams with more than 35% contribution from regional music. Efforts on AI/machine learning-based recommendations have shown great progress, and are now powering more than 27% of music consumption.
