We feel Wynk s amalmagation of a huge library of Indian and International music and well curated playlist, combined with a low price and ease of discovery make it a very appealing proposition to the Indian market. Wynk can’t be used on the web, unless you are using a mobile phone, but most people are going to be accessing it from mobile phones, so its not going to be much of a problem.
