Revival & Production

Revival

Eight years after its last season aired on MTV India, Coke Studio made its return to the Indian music scene in February 2023. Spearheaded by Coca-Cola India, this revival took on the name Coke Studio Bharat. The reintroduction hinted at a shift towards celebrating India's diverse musical heritage. [6] Coke Studio Bharat aimed to contemporize the show by facilitating fresh collaborations among a variety of artists. Unlike its previous partnership with MTV India, this edition was exclusively focused on digital platforms, with individual songs being released instead of full episodes. [7] Despite these format changes, Coke Studio Bharat remained true to the show's essence - showcasing unique artist pairings accompanied by a house band and additional musicians. [8] [9]

Production

A team consisting of Ankur Tewari, music producer K. J. Singh, and lyricist Kausar Munir curated the artist selection and musical direction for the season. [10] Universal Music India handled all aspects of marketing, distribution, and production. Filming took place at Filmistan Studios in Mumbai, with Colosceum Media Pvt. Ltd. managing the visual production. [11] [12]
