Songpact Sets Sights on India with Entertainment Lawyer Priyanka Khimani

Songpact, the subscription-based platform that helps musicians navigate contracts, has tapped entertainment law powerhouse Priyanka Khimani as co-founder and strategic advisor.

As the company prepares to roll out in India in Q3 2025, Khimani will lead Songpact’s global expansion and partnerships, leveraging her extensive experience to localize offerings and build strategic collaborations across markets.

Launched in January 2025, Songpact was built to simplify one of the music industry’s most overlooked areas: contracts. Using a guided Q&A interface, artists, producers, managers, and labels can create, negotiate, and finalize key agreements—such as contributor deals—in just minutes. With built-in collaboration tools including messaging, e-signatures, and secure storage, Songpact delivers an end-to-end legal workflow tailored specifically for the modern music economy.

“The music industry doesn’t have a talent gap—it has an access and affordability gap,” Khimani said in a statement. “Contracts are foundational to music careers, but they’ve remained out of reach for too many creators. With Songpact, we’re shifting that dynamic—making contracts easier to understand, quicker to execute, and accessible to everyone, not just the privileged few.”

Songpact currently supports contract templates governed by the laws of England and Wales, Australia, and South Africa, with further localization underway. India will be the next major territory to launch, with Khimani spearheading its entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing music markets.

Khimani, recently named to Billboard’s 2025 Top Music Lawyers and the 2023 Women in Music list, is also a board member at Songtradr and Beatdapp and leads Women of Music India (WoMI), a nonprofit platform supporting gender equity in the Indian music ecosystem.

Nick Weaser, CEO and co-founder of Songpact, said in a statement, “In 2025, we need contract tools as fast, creative, and global as the artists they serve,” said Weaser. “Priyanka has a proven track record of driving change and building trust across borders. She’s exactly the kind of leader we need to take Songpact into its next phase.”
