Watch our exclusive interview with Prateek Dixit, Co-Founder of Pocket FM.

From a two-hour #Delhi - Gurugram commute to India’s #leading audio fiction #platform: The Story of Pocket FM.

We started by exploring Pocket FM’s early days - how the team created a new #binge category and chose to #monetize only after three years with their innovative #MicroTransaction, pay-as-you-go model, which helped build a loyal and #engaged listener base.

We then discussed Pocket FM’s #partnership with ElevenLabs, which recently licensed the voices of Michael Caine and #MatthewMcConaughey, and what it means for the future of #creators and #AI on the platform.

We talked how #AI is reshaping #storytelling at Pocket FM - from identifying #blockbuster moments to accelerating content creation and releasing episodes in 20 #languages - and what drove the decision to build #proprietaryAI models.

Another interesting topic we touched is the creation of #ContentHubs in Bangalore, #Mumbai, Los Angeles, and #Berlin, where the majority of their content is produced, along with plans for future #expansion.
