  Spotify rival Gaana, which announced in August that it had surpassed 185m monthly active users, has just raised 3.75bn INR (approximately $51m) in debt to help finance its growth. The money comes from two existing Gaana investors – Tencent, and the platform’s majority-owner Times Internet – in the form of optionally converted debentures at a price of 63,761.93 INR (around $870) per share. The majority of this cash (approximately $41m) has been handed over by Tencent’s European entity, Tencent Cloud BV, with the remaining amount coming from Times Internet. According to financial filings in India, the move has seen Tencent’s ownership stake in Gaana increase to 34.44%, while diluting Times Internet’s stake to 60.18%.
