In a span of two weeks, beloved fusion music series Coke Studio has announced two different chapters in India, and it turns out they will run independent of each other. On January 23, Coke Studio Tamil was announced as the platform's first foray into a language-specific edition, and now, there's Coke Studio Bharat, launched on February 7 with its first song.

After an eight-year gap since season four, there are a lot of expectations from the platform. They've got a diverse range of artistes behind the 10 songs for Coke Studio Bharat. Curated by singer-songwriter Ankur Tewari, the show also has sound engineer and producer K.J. Singh guiding the process with lyricist Kausar Munir (known most recently for writing the songs of the 2022 film Gehraiyaan).
