Khat singer Navjot Ahuja joins REPRESENT and hints at his first India tour
Jaipur singer-songwriter Navjot Ahuja, whose song Khat held No. 1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50 for more than 30 days, has signed with management company REPRESENT and is signalling a move into live shows.
IllustrationNavjot Ahuja's quiet song about a letter is turning into a career. The Jaipur singer-songwriter behind Khat has joined the management company REPRESENT, and he is hinting that an India tour could be next.
What has been announced
1. Navjot Ahuja is now managed by REPRESENT.
2. He has said he wants to take his songs into real spaces and share their emotion more closely with people, which has fuelled talk of a tour.
3. No dates or cities have been announced yet.
Speaking about the past year, he summed it up in one line: Khat changed my position, not me. He added that nothing about the song's success was planned and that it came from a very personal place.
The Khat effect
Khat, released on 27 December 2025, is an acoustic ballad that Ahuja wrote, composed and sang himself. It climbed to No. 1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50 and held the spot for more than 30 days, a record run for an Indian artist on that chart. In February 2026 it was also No. 1 on Spotify's Viral 50 in India, Pakistan and the UAE, and in the top 15 of Billboard's India Songs chart.
Ten months on, Khat is still in India's streaming top 10. Its lyrics, about bringing paper flowers and writing a letter for someone who has become the singer's whole faith, have struck a chord with listeners on both sides of the border.
14 years in the making
Ahuja wrote his first original song in 2012. Khat was his 26th release. Before it took off, he spent more than a decade in Jaipur's indie circuit, writing and producing his own music with little attention. He has also performed abroad, including a show in Kathmandu.

What it means
Navjot Ahuja's rise is a reminder that a single honest song can still break through without a label campaign or a big music video. The move to professional management is the step that usually turns a viral moment into a touring career.
