Following the closure, all Wynk Music employees will be absorbed by the company.

"Airtel is planning to close Wynk Music in the next couple of months. It will absorb all the employees into the company," news agency PTI quoted a spokesperson as saying.

When contacted, an Airtel spokesperson confirmed the development.

"We can confirm that we will sunset Wynk Music and all Wynk music employees will be absorbed within the Airtel ecosystem. Airtel users will have access to Apple Music. Additionally, Wynk Premium users will receive exclusive offers from Airtel for Apple," the spokesperson said.

The company has signed an agreement with Apple to offer special deals on Apple Music to its customers who use iPhones.
