Tips Music strikes multi-year licensing deal with ShareChat and Moj
Mumbai: Tips Music on Tuesday announced a multi-year licensing deal with social media platform ShareChat and short video app Moj. The deal is one of the largest music deals announced this year by the company.
The partnership will allow the 340 million active users, on both ShareChat and Moj, access to not only Tip’s latest upcoming music content but its massive catalogue of Indian music to create their own short video content using the in-app library, said the statement.
The robust music library offers thousands of songs in diverse Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bhojpuri across genres like film or non-film songs, devotional music, ghazals, and indie-pop.
“It’s been a pleasure continuing our collaboration with ShareChat and MoJ, they are an amazing team and really have established themselves in such a short time frame, with this partnership both companies will continue to grow side by side and open possibilities for creators and users to explore their creativity,” said Tips Industries chairman and managing director Kumar Taurani.
“Our multi-year deal with Tips Music is a key part of our strategy to be an ally of the music industry and a signal of our increasing focus on ensuring music fans have the widest library of music available on a short video platform in India to create fan-powered videos,” ShareChat and Moj senior director music partnerships Berges Y Malu. “Tips Music’s large catalog of content spreading across languages and genres provides our users with access to amazing music to create immersive social experiences. These partnerships help artists grow their audiences and break songs across India.”

Mumbai gears up for the ultimate Global Youth Festival this December
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
