Pocket FM is a personalized audio streaming service founded in 2018 by Rohan Nayak, Nishanth KS and Prateek Dixit. The company was built with a vision to redefine the OTT space with an audio first approach, and the idea was seeded when audio was a non-existent category.

Today, it witnesses over 15 million monthly active listeners (MAL) on the app, spending an average of over 100 minutes daily, while the total monthly audio streaming on the app counts to over 3 billion minutes.

Pocket FM has been making immense contributions to the creator economy, from identifying potential creative minds to nurturing them for the next level with Pocket Creator Studio. It also keeps the creators motivated financially by compensating them for the creative pieces.
