The 68th Annual Grammy Awards, held in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026, brought global recognition to several Indian and Indian-origin musicians, but the night ended without a win for India. Despite strong nominations across key global music categories, none of the Indian artists shortlisted this year managed to take home the prestigious trophy.
Indo-American jazz composer and pianist Charu Suri earned her first Grammy nomination for her album Shayan in the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album category. She was also recognised as a producer on Sounds of Kumbha, which received a nomination in the Best Global Music Album category. While her dual nominations marked a significant career milestone, Suri ultimately missed out on a win.
