National, 25 August 2025: Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) has marked a significant moment in its India journey with the debut of Sonos Sound Suites – an intimate and immersive listening experience celebrating music that is as rich in culture as it is in sound. The inaugural event held at premium members’ club, Soho House, Mumbai was marked by a genre-defying live performance from Indian sitar maestro Purbayan Chatterjee and jazz pianist-composer Merlyn D’Souza. Blending classical Indian ragas with modern textures and bluesy undertones, the duo left a room full of cultural tastemakers and music connoisseurs spellbound with a soulful performance that weaved Indian classical traditions into the fabric of blues.
The sound leader is turning up the volume on India’s cultural renaissance with Sonos Sound Suites, where tradition meets innovation through the power of sound. Sonos Sound Suites is a reflection of India’s growing rediscovery of its musical roots, at a time when classical music is experiencing a powerful resurgence.
Created as an India-first experience, Sonos Sound Suites places Sonos products in thoughtfully curated spaces, inviting influential voices, artists, and tastemakers to explore what great sound truly feels like. The Mumbai chapter was no exception.
“Indian classical music is steeped in emotion, texture, and nuance. When mixed with the blues, the resulting sound is soulful and captivating. The Sonos Sound Suites performance is our tribute to the transcendental qualities of music,” said Purbayan Chatterjee. “As a brand, Sonos truly champions the artist and its ethos of making listening out loud more immersive, intimate and true to the artist’s intent.”
Immersive listening sessions hosted by Sonos Sound Experience Engineer Harry Jones, showcased the breathtaking spatial audio immersion of Sonos Era 300 and how Sonos redefines home listening — not just as a playback device, but as an emotional medium that honours the artist’s intent. Drawing from both vintage recordings and modern classics, the session offered a rare chance to experience music with depth, dimensionality, and soul. Globally, Sonos works closely with a community of some of the most well regarded artists and creators – including the Sonos Soundboard, led by renowned producer Giles Martin – to fine-tune every product for studio-grade precision and emotional depth.
“At Sonos, technology and innovation are essential – but the true essence of great sound lies in faithfully recreating the art and evoking emotion in the listener. Our deep engineering expertise combined with ongoing collaboration with a global community of creators – from producers and engineers to mixers across music and film – enables us to craft sound experiences that move beyond expectation. It’s this fusion of art and science that we’re proud to put at the forefront,” said Harry Jones.
Rennie Addabbo, General Manager of Sonos APAC added: “With Sonos, we’re bringing the magic of immersive listening into every room of the home through simple, seamless multi-room control. This is how we see Sonos showing up in Indian homes: connecting listeners more deeply to the vibrant sonic traditions, people and content they love.”
As Sonos Sound Suites evolves in India, Sonos is drawing inspiration from cultural tastemakers with a collective of India’s most respected artists, storytellers and creatives. They will share their stories of how music shapes their spaces, creative rituals and communities, with members including acclaimed musicians Kavya Trehan and Avanti Nagral, vinyl archivist Nishant Mittal of Digging in India, visual artist Maroof Umar, entrepreneur Vedant Lamba, chef Harsh Dixit, and storyteller Aditi Mayer.
