Songpact Launches In India To Simplify Music Contracts For Creators

India’s music industry is having its global moment. Streaming has reshaped listening habits, Indian artists are reaching audiences far beyond their home borders, and the country is now one of the world’s fastest-growing music markets, with over 185 million streamers and double-digit annual growth.

However, while the music has moved forward, the paperwork behind it has not. Many deals are still built on delayed timelines, confusing documentation, informal promises, or expensive legal processes, leaving creators vulnerable at the moments that matter most.

On November 10, Songpact officially launched in India with a simple mission: to make professional music contracts fast, fair, and accessible for every creator, not just the top 1%.

A New Era of Accessible Music Contracts

“Throughout my professional journey, I’ve always endeavoured to make legal assistance and guidance available to all types of creators, across different stages of their careers and economic backgrounds,” said Priyanka Khimani, Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor at Songpact. “India is a large and diverse country, and technology is one of our biggest assets when it comes to serving the community at scale. Songpact’s launch in India provides an affordable, pocket-friendly solution that enables artists and their teams to create, negotiate, and manage everyday contracts with ease.”

Explaining how Songpact works, Khimani added, “Our goal was to make the process of creating contracts as friendly and intuitive as possible. Instead of endless Word document markups, users answer clear, straightforward questions about commercial terms within the platform. Easy-to-follow explainers guide them through the process, allowing them to create and negotiate a draft contract in minutes.”

Once terms are agreed upon, Songpact automatically generates a robust, plain-English contract based on those terms. The document can then be e-signed and securely stored, all within the same platform. Unlike traditional processes, Songpact is available 24/7.

Simplifying the Global Music Contract Process

“The rest of the music industry has evolved with cutting-edge tools for live shows, distribution, marketing, and management,” said Nick Weaser, Co-Founder and CEO of Songpact. “But across the world, the music contract process has remained virtually unchanged for decades. We’re changing that. Songpact isn’t just about contracts, it’s about empowering creators with access, knowledge, confidence, and fairness. It levels the playing field.”

Songpact is available in India through tiered subscription plans, from a free-to-join option with pay-as-you-go credits to paid plans starting at Rs 1,999 per month, which offer discounted credits that accumulate over time.

India Joins Songpact’s Global Expansion

India is the latest addition to Songpact’s growing global footprint, following successful launches in the UK, Australia, and South Africa.

“We are incredibly proud to bring Songpact to India,” added Weaser. “It’s one of the world’s most dynamic and rapidly expanding music markets, home to extraordinary creative talent. But like elsewhere, the contracting process has long been archaic and expensive, often forcing creators to choose between paying heavily, relying on handshake deals, or skipping paperwork entirely. Songpact eliminates that barrier and makes professional music contracts accessible to everyone.”
