What are the top local competitors in India? I'm unfamiliar with the streaming music market there.

JIOSaavn, Gaana, Amazon Prime Music, Apple Music (which is much cheaper as a family account), Hungama, Wynk.

All the above currently have more songs (except Prime) on them than Spotify in India does.

Google Music is a major competitor, with a massive catalogue at the right price, but they don't have a free tier.

You're right, it's just that their sign up is so complicated / glitchy / buggy, that I've never been able to get it and as a result completely forgot about their existence.
