The app is expected to be available in English, whereas music will be available in five regional languages (Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Bengali), besides Hindi music from Bollywood movies, the report said. The publication also notes that Spotify is hosting a party in Mumbai on January 31, which gives it some time to ink more deals.

Even if licensing is secured, the company will be facing other obstacles, such as fierce competition from the likes of Gaana, Saavn, and Apple Music to an extent. A report in November stated that Spotify in India will launch with an extended free trial period, which will be more than 30 days.
