How to Get Your Music
on Gaana
Reach India's Bollywood, regional, and devotional-music listeners
Gaana has carved out a distinct niche within India's crowded streaming market through especially deep coverage of devotional music, regional folk, and older Bollywood catalogs alongside current releases — genres that skew toward an older or more traditional listener base than JioSaavn's younger-leaning audience.

Tips to Succeed on Gaana
If your release includes devotional, folk, or traditional regional elements, Gaana's catalog depth in these areas gives you a discovery path that more mainstream-leaning Indian platforms don't emphasize as strongly.
Tag language and region metadata carefully, matching the same discipline you'd apply on JioSaavn, since Gaana's playlists are similarly organized around specific regional-language audiences.
Treat Gaana as complementary to, not a replacement for, JioSaavn and Hungama — the three platforms' Indian audiences overlap only partially.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Gaana different from JioSaavn?
Both are major Indian streaming apps included in every DistroVibe release, but Gaana has particularly deep catalogs in devotional and traditional regional music, while JioSaavn's ecosystem bundling through Reliance Jio gives it broader current-release reach. Distributing to both maximizes your coverage of India's fragmented streaming market.
Is Gaana worth using if my music isn't devotional or traditional?
Yes — Gaana also carries current Bollywood and regional pop catalogs alongside its devotional strength, and it's included at no extra cost, so there's no reason to skip it regardless of genre.
Does Gaana pay the same way as other DSPs?
Yes, Gaana royalties are collected and passed through via your DistroVibe wallet on the same reporting cycle as your other streaming platforms.
