At boAt, while our commitment to the incredible music community runs deep, we are first & foremost a true Indian brand. Therefore, when we became aware of the remarks made by artist Shubh earlier this year, we chose to withdraw our sponsorship from the tour, the company wrote in a notification.

“We will continue to foster a vibrant music culture in India and create platforms where emerging artists can show their talent,” the company added.

Earlier in March this year, Shubh shared a distorted map of India in an Instagram story, with the caption ‘Pray for Punjab’, to express solidarity with Khalistan, for which he was criticised.
