Pocket FM

This International Day of the Girl Child, we bring back #SoundOfCourage with a powerful story from Rajasthan, where young girls kicked past child marriage and found their voice through football. What began as a few girls playing on a patch of land became a movement, inspiring their entire village to believe in freedom, equality, and hope. Created in collaboration with Mahila Jan Adhikar Samiti, the film captures their journey from silence to strength, and the sheer courage it took to pick up a football in a place where even stepping outside wasn’t allowed. Their courage didn’t just change their lives; it transformed the social fabric of the region. Child marriages are declining. More girls are back in school. Families are cheering from the sidelines. Watch the film and feel the sound of courage come alive. With #SoundOfCourage, we will continue to celebrate stories that lift our spirits and remind us what courage truly looks like.

Stories are meant to travel far. But what happens when you want to take thousands of stories to millions of people — and still keeping the magic of human story telling intact? At the Google Cloud #StartupFoundrySummit2025, our CTO Umesh Bude, took the stage to showcase how Pocket FM is redefining storytelling at scale. Some highlights from the talk: 🔺Copilot for Writers: More than a tool—an AI co-creator that keeps narratives consistent, eliminates creative fatigue, and accelerates story production. 🔺ATLAS: Our AI adaptation engine that brings stories to new markets, ensuring cultural nuance and global relevance. 🔺BLAZE!: The comic creation studio transforming visual storytelling — 20x faster production, 3x more cost-efficient. Each of these is built using the Pocket AI Stack, designed not to replace creators — but to empower them. Because for us, AI isn’t about speed alone; it’s about amplifying imagination. A thank you to #GoogleCloud and all the brilliant minds at the summit for celebrating the future of innovation and imagination with us. Here’s to more stories, more creativity, and more magic in the world✨ #PocketfulOfJoys

We recently wrapped up our US Business Production team meet in Bangalore, and it was nothing short of special. Colleagues flew in from different corners of the country, and for a few days, screens and calendars gave way to conversations, laughter, ideas, and new bonds. And of course, no celebration is complete without a little something to take back — our customized Pocket FM goodies were a small way of saying thank you 💙 Here’s a glimpse from our night of celebration :) #PocketfulOfJoy #TGIT

Every story begins with a spark. A heartbeat. A quiet what if. Some sparks grow into laughter on a metro in Mexico City. Some into quiet tears in a Berlin café. Some into sleepless nights of bingeing at 2 AM in Bangalore. What starts as a spark can grow into a universe. And when imagination meets innovation, these universes travel across cultures and languages to become global IPs.🌍 That vision is at the heart of Pocket Entertainment, and Mashable captured it beautifully.

Sometimes, the best work happens when you take a step back and just enjoy the moment. Our Brand, Communications & Partnership Team did exactly that. We laughed, learned, and shared stories. The takeaway? A team that loves what they do can turn even the mundane into something magical. Here’s to more moments like this together✨ #PocketfulOfJoys

Our Co-founder Prateek Dixit took the Pocket FM story to #RadioDaysAsia, one of the most respected global forums shaping the future of audio. He spoke about how Pocket FM is reimagining storytelling at scale—with a clear belief that AI is here to supercharge creativity. For us, its about giving creators the power to scale their imagination, and giving millions of listeners across the world access to immersive, serialized entertainment they can truly lose themselves in. Being part of Radiodays Asia was an opportunity to showcase what we’re building at Pocket FM, and to stand alongside the global audio community that shares the same passion for the transformative power of stories. #PocketfulOfJoys

India has spoken, and the verdict is in: the future of entertainment is going to be binged to your ears. According to 'Pocket FM Entertainment Insights 2025' report, a whopping 86% of Indian listeners prefer episodic audio dramas over audiobooks, music, or podcasts. From Bengaluru’s backseat conversations to the tranquil corners of Bhagalpur, India is tuning in—without watching. Audio dramas, aka audio series, are the new binge culture, and they’re reshaping how we consume stories. India’s real binge is happening in the ears. Why this matters: -Narrative immersion, minus the screen fatigue -Flexibility in motion. Whether you're commuting, cooking, or just closing your eyes and even at your leisure — stories follow. -Storytelling’s democracy. From romance to fantasy, writers are owning the storytelling, and listeners are owning the ears. This is India rewriting the entertainment playbook, with storytelling in its finest form ... and on audio. #PocketfulOfJoy

Behind every strong organisations are teams that know the value of balance, not just in numbers, but in life ✨ Our finance team recently got together for an offsite that was all about play, laughter, and bonding. From paintball matches that sparked team spirit, to cricket games that brought out healthy competition, to gala nights filled with food, dance, and fun. It was a celebration of the people who keep us moving forward. Work builds results. Play builds culture. Together, they create teams that thrive. #PocketfulOfJoy

We’ve been asking ourselves a simple question at Pocket FM: Why do listeners behave the way they do? Not just what they listen to, but why they binge, why they re-engage after weeks, or why they suddenly explore something new. Our data science team, led by Arijit Bhattacharyya, has been digging deep into this. Using Transformers for sequential behavior modeling, we’re finding patterns that go beyond surface-level metrics — patterns that help us deliver stories at the right moment, in the right way. This blog is a peek into that journey. Not final answers. Just what we’re learning as we build- https://lnkd.in/gn-uCkNC More such deep dives dropping soon🔥
