Mumbai, January 9, 2026: In a major move that signals the growing global reach of Indian pop music, Arjun Kanungo has signed an exclusive worldwide management and bookings deal with The Hello Group India (THG India) — a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment India and global entertainment powerhouse The Hello Group.
The partnership marks a new chapter for one of India’s most versatile and influential pop artists, positioning Arjun for global expansion through international releases, cross-border collaborations, and large-scale touring opportunities.
A Defining Voice of Modern Indian Pop
Over the past decade, Arjun Kanungo has emerged as a defining figure in the evolution of modern Indian pop. Trained in Hindustani classical music and having toured internationally with the legendary Asha Bhosle, Arjun’s artistry bridges the gap between traditional sensibilities and contemporary sound.
With a vocal tone that’s instantly recognizable and a knack for cinematic storytelling, he has crafted a distinct identity — one that merges heartfelt emotion with mass appeal.
His hits — “Baaki Baatein Peene Baad,” “Aaya Na Tu,” “Fursat,” “La La La,” “Ek Dafaa (Chinnamma),” and “Ilzaam” — have not only topped charts but have also amassed over 8 billion streams and views globally, cementing his place as one of the most successful Indian pop artists of his generation.
Arjun’s music has consistently pushed boundaries, blending romance, realism, and rhythm into a sound that speaks to both Indian audiences and the wider global diaspora.
From Music to Movies: A Multifaceted Career
Beyond music, Arjun Kanungo’s creative journey continues to expand. His Bollywood debut in “Radhe” (2021) opposite Salman Khan introduced him to a wider audience, while his brand collaborations and international performances have further diversified his artistic footprint.
Whether it’s music production, acting, or entrepreneurial ventures, Arjun embodies the modern Indian artist — one who’s driven, adaptable, and unafraid to dream beyond borders.
A Partnership Built on Global Ambition
For Arjun, the deal with The Hello Group India represents a significant turning point — one that aligns his artistic vision with a global platform built to elevate South Asian talent.
“I’m excited to partner with Taylor and The Hello Group as I step into the next big phase of my journey,” said Arjun Kanungo. “There’s a shared clarity around where we want to go, both creatively and strategically. I feel confident and hopeful that we will build something meaningful and globally relevant together.”
Taylor Jones, CEO of The Hello Group, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the scale of Arjun’s potential.
“Arjun is truly one of a kind — a singer, songwriter, producer, rising actor, and serial entrepreneur,” he said. “That multifaceted drive resonates deeply with me. I understand his vision and the scale of what he’s building, and I believe we can be a powerful extension of his infrastructure as he enters the next level of stardom across music, brand partnerships, live performance, and his wider business ventures.”
THG India’s Growing Role in South Asian Music
The signing of Arjun Kanungo underscores THG India’s mission to champion South Asian artists with global ambitions. As the Indian music industry rapidly globalizes, the company is focused on building cross-border pathways for homegrown talent to reach international audiences.
This partnership also highlights Sony Music Entertainment India’s ongoing investment in artist management, live touring, and creative development — expanding beyond traditional record label roles to become a full-service ecosystem for artists.
THG India brings together the global infrastructure of The Hello Group — which operates across music, film, television, live touring, and brand partnerships — with Sony Music India’s deep understanding of the regional market. Together, they aim to position Indian talent at the forefront of the global entertainment stage.
A Global Stage Awaits
For Arjun Kanungo, this collaboration feels less like a business move and more like the natural next step in an artist’s evolution. With a strong domestic fanbase, an international outlook, and a creative partnership that aligns with his vision, he’s poised to take Indian pop to new frontiers.
As the world’s attention increasingly turns toward India’s booming music scene, artists like Arjun are redefining what it means to be a “global act” — rooted in local culture, yet resonant across borders.
The Hello Group India’s latest signing is more than an artist deal; it’s a statement of intent — that Indian pop is ready for the world stage, and Arjun Kanungo is one of its leading voices.
