JioSaavn
Market: India
Overview
JioSaavn is an Indian streaming service with ad-supported and subscription listening. It is built around regional-language catalogs, and its artist platform, ArtistOne, lets verified artists manage their profile, see listener insights and pitch songs to JioSaavn’s editorial team.
Market / Platform Focus
JioSaavn’s primary market is India, a regional-language-first market. Language is a first-class dimension on the platform: ArtistOne ranks artists among their peers in a particular language, and editorial pitches ask for the song’s language, so accurate language tagging matters for discovery.
Yes — LabelGrid delivers your releases to JioSaavn. Distribution is included on every distribution plan, for record labels, distributors, and independent artists alike.

LABELGRID
LabelGrid Integration
LabelGrid delivers your releases to JioSaavn with the metadata you enter in your catalog, after LabelGrid’s release review. JioSaavn takes artist metadata from your distributor and does not accept direct artist uploads, so a correction goes through LabelGrid resubmitting the metadata.
Getting Started
To release music on JioSaavn via LabelGrid, prepare your audio, artwork, and metadata according to our specifications. Select JioSaavn in your release’s outlets, and LabelGrid reviews the release and delivers it to JioSaavn.
LabelGrid provides the tools you need beyond distribution: catalog management for your metadata and releases, royalty accounting with automated artist statements from the Basic plan up, and promotion tools including smart links and Spotify pre-saves.

DEEP DIVE
What You Should Know About JioSaavn
India's Music Market
India's streaming market is shaped by domestic, multi-language platforms that index heavily on regional-language catalogs, and in several cases on telco bundling.
Content & Language Diversity
JioSaavn positions itself around regional-language catalogs. ArtistOne ranks artists among their peers in a particular language, and an editorial pitch asks for the song's language, genre, mood and instruments, so complete language metadata matters.
Monetization
JioSaavn runs ad-supported and subscription streaming. Royalties from both are tracked in LabelGrid’s royalty accounting.
Tips for Success
- Include accurate language metadata on every release
- Claim your profile in ArtistOne once your music is live
- Pitch songs to JioSaavn's editorial team with full language, genre and mood details
- Submit at least 2 weeks ahead of your release date
