Leading Mobile Carrier and Music Service Introduce Premium Audio Product for South

Saavn, India's premier audio streaming service, today announced its first strategic
partnership in the Middle East with VIVA Bahrain, the country's leading telecom operator
and a subsidiary of the Saudi Telecommunications Company (STC), to bring Saavn Pro to
South Asian audiences in Bahrain.



Saavn Pro, the company's subscription offering, gives users access to unlimited,
high-quality music downloads for ad-free, offline listening. As part of the partnership,
physical distribution of Saavn Pro scratch cards will be carried out at all VIVA retail
outlets, along with digital distribution of Saavn Pro codes via free SMS, offering VIVA's
customers 1 free month of Saavn Pro upon purchasing a 1 month subscription.



"Partnering with VIVA enables Saavn to offer our premium, all-inclusive audio
experience to a new subscriber base in Bahrain," said Paramdeep Singh, Executive Chairman
and Co-Founder, Saavn. "This is only the beginning of our strategic partnership, as we
look forward to expanding our rich user experience and high engagement rates with the
large South Asian diaspora population across the MENA region."



"We are pleased to partner with a global streaming brand like Saavn to expand VIVA's
subscriber services," said Andrew Hanna, Chief Commercial Officer, VIVA Bahrain. "Saavn
Pro's unlimited download package, in 12 South Asian languages, presents a complete music
offering for the Asian community."



VIVA subscribers who download the free Saavn app for iOS or Android can purchase a
code valid for access to Saavn Pro in one of three ways: by sending a free SMS with the
word 'SAAVN' to 98691; by purchasing a Saavn Pro scratch card from any of VIVA's retail
shops; or by purchasing Saavn Pro code from any of VIVA's self-service SADAD machines.
