Music streaming has become a very large business in the past few years. With smartphone manufacturers removing the feature of SD cards and also with the limited storage available in the devices, people are leaning towards streaming music rather than downloading it.
The network providers (read Jio) are also pushing boundaries to make high-speed data available to consumers every day at substantially low prices, thus adding to the cause.
There has been an usher of music streaming apps in the last few years. Gaana, Saavn, Wynk Music and even some international streaming companies like Soundcloud are investing heavily to popularise their apps and services in India.
Introduction
Spotify, on the other hand, is absent from the Indian music streaming scene. Spotify is undeniably the world’s largest and biggest music streaming service provider.
It has the largest number of songs and even podcasts. It serves to a very large audience as it has millions of songs in different languages.
Despite the existence of iTunes with it, a site on which major international artist release their songs on, Spotify has thrived and has been on the top since forever.
The absence of Spotify in India is sad, but in this article, we’re going to show you how to use Spotify in India with some few tricks.

But before we do that it is important to give you an insight into What is a VPN?
VPN that is Virtual Private Network extends a private network to a public network and allows users to receive and send data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. It is a much more secure way to browse the internet or work on it as it keeps your location ambiguous which makes it harder to trace.

Please help. I’ve downloaded the hola app and I’ve followed all your instructions. Even went an extra step to download the hola gps fake location app too. My Spotify app can still sense that I’m not in Thailand anymore. Keeps saying that I should update my location to listen to it abroad. I’ve put the location on Thailand in the website so as to access the app but still no luck. PLEASE HELP ME.
Initially, use your primary location as United States or Canada to be on the safe side using the Fake GPS Location app. Then you should use any other location, say Thailand to use Spotify.
Hi! I followed your instructions for android use as per the steps mentioned above but for some reason i am not being able to log in. When I tried running spotify through Hola VPN, it asked me if i should switch on the unblocker to which i said yes. Does that need to be on or can we proceed without it? Please help because I am only trying to update my app and now stand to lose all my playlists and favourite tracks. Thanks.
Hi Anuj, instead of Hola VPN you can try the Turbo VPN. It is a no nonsense app that would work like charm. Just select the location as United States and log in Spotify app. 🙂
Showing no internet connection on login screen
Then your VPN might not have been working properly. Also, try downloading Spotify Blue Apk.

Glad it worked for you.
