Spotify names Aditi Shorewal head of PR and communications, bringing brand-storytelling experience from Tinder

Spotify has appointed Aditi Shorewal as its new head of public relations and communications, according to industry and market coverage published in early June.

Multiple reports say Shorewal joins Spotify from Tinder, where she served as communications lead for India and later for India and Korea. In a LinkedIn post reported by industry media, she described the move as “a new chapter at Spotify” and said she looks forward to working with creators, artists, and partners to tell stories “that spark conversations, shape culture, and connect people in India and beyond.”

Those same reports place Shorewal’s earlier experience across high-profile consumer and technology brands, including Eventbrite and Twitter. MarketScreener also reported that her career includes leadership roles handling communications and media relations work across multiple markets, plus a master’s degree from King’s College London in digital asset and media management.

Spotify’s communications function matters to investors and analysts because the company’s strategy depends on translating complex product and partnership decisions into a clear narrative. In May, Spotify used its own newsroom to lay out an expanded roadmap at an Investor Day focused on music monetization, podcasts, advertising, and AI-driven personalization, including details such as large payouts to the music industry and announcements around fan-made cover and remix tooling under licensing agreements.

Within that broader strategy, PR and communications leadership typically plays a role in helping keep stakeholders aligned on topics like licensing, content safety and rights, and how new AI features are positioned for mainstream use. Spotify has also been explicit in its messaging about building a “next era” of personalized media, describing initiatives that involve proprietary taste modeling and generative personalization.

Spotify did not provide, in the materials referenced by coverage, a detailed public job description covering Shorewal’s reporting line, specific responsibilities, start date beyond the announcement timeframe, or any compensation and internal mandate. The appointment information also appears to be based on third-party replication of statements rather than a standalone company release fully accessible from Spotify’s newsroom pages at the time of reporting.

Going forward, the practical question for market observers will be whether Spotify’s external narrative becomes more cohesive across regions where it is emphasizing growth, particularly as product rollouts and partnership announcements continue. Watch for the company to credit communications leadership in future newsroom initiatives, major licensing or creator-program announcements, and investor-facing events.
