MUMBAI: Apple’s largest Premium Reseller in India, Aptronix is partnering with Smule, world’s #1 singing app for the launch of Aptronix’ first major retail experience in the country. The launch is slated for this weekend in Mumbai.
Smule is a community of music lovers and brings together fans, artists and their unflinching passion for music. The fact that Smule is a top grosser on the App Store is testimony to its popularity and success. Smule in partnership with Times Bridge aims to bring music back to its roots by playing a pivotal role in transforming the music landscape from one of passive listening to collaborative creation.

The event will include live performances, musical sessions and a masterclass with leading Indian music artists, including renowned music composer and singer Salim Merchant, popular playback singer Nikhita Gandhi and the winner of India's first Smule Mirchi Cover Star – Ashmik Patil.
For the first time, for an Indian live audience, Salim Merchant will share insights on the art of composing while also singing some of his favourite milestone tracks. The event will also witness the first ever Live Duet with fans, led by popular singer Nikhita Gandhi performing with talent from the Smule community.
