India’s STARtist Management and Australia’s Unified Music Group Announce Global Joint Venture

When Indian music and event company STARtist Management’s Siddharth Todi met with Australian company Unified Music Group’s founder-CEO Jaddan Comerford at a sold-out concert of singer-songwriter Vance Joy in Barcelona in 2023, they forged a connection.

The Australian music exec was visiting Mumbai later on and reconnected with Todi, and they’ve now announced a joint venture that will connect Australia and India’s artists, along with the rest of the world. The venture comes on the back of a year of collaboration between STARtist, its touring arm 7Entertainment and Unified Music Group, which has seen international tours launched by singer-songwriter Ishan, devotional artists like Radhika Das, Jahnavi Harrison and most recently, Krishna Das, who will tour India in October and November 2025.

The joint venture that will operate across live touring, artist management and recorded music aimed at taking India’s music to the world, and bringing the world’s music to India, according to a press release.

Todi says in a statement, “Indian music has a rich heritage and an exciting future. Together with Unified, we’re creating a bridge between East and West, one that empowers artists, connects fans and reshapes the musical landscape.” He added, “There’s no one directional strategy here. We’re as committed to amplifying Indian voices globally as we are to helping international artists navigate India in a culturally relevant and sustainable way.”

Krishna Das’ tour in association with 7E Entertainment and Unified Music Group will commence at Brahmakamal Hall, Yashobhoomi Exhibition & Trade Centre, New Delhi on Oct. 31, 2025, followed by a performance at the Dome SVP Stadium, Mumbai on Nov. 2, 2025, and conclude at Phoenix Marketcity, Backyard Area, Bengaluru on Nov. 5, 2025.
