Now, use the Gaana app in Tamil, Marathi and 7 more Indian languages

For music lovers, there is good news! Now Gaana users have the option of using the music app in 9 Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Bengali.

With this, the music experience for those living in non-metros is enhanced. Apart from English, the app is now accessible in Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Bhojpuri.

While Gaana already allows users to filter music by their language preference, the app interface, so far, was available only in English. With this update, new users will be prompted to select their preferred languages, and existing users change their language preferences in Settings.

The feature is already live on Android, and will come to iOS soon.


The app is now accessible in Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Bhojpuri.

Talking about this update, Prashan Agarwal, COO, Gaana, said, "Gaana's mission has always been to bring the best music experience to all of India. Gaana reaches over 25 million consumers, but is now finally usable for hundreds of millions of Indians who can't read English. This is one of multiple initiatives by us to provide value to all Indians across India and the world."

According to a survey, regional content apps will be a $1 billion market by 2020. Building products in native Indian languages is also been a focus as part of PM Modi's ' Digital India' campaign.
