About us

With our unique storytelling approach, we have breathed new life into audio storytelling, reviving it as a mainstream entertainment format and unearthing unique and unheard stories across the world for our listeners. Today, we are building the most extensive repository of audio content on our platform. With over 100 million listeners community, spending an average of over 110 minutes every day, the platform has witnessed over 45 billion minutes of streaming in 2022 Pocket FM is a Series D-stage company that has raised US$196.5 million in multiple rounds and is backed by some marquee investors like Lightspeed, Stepstone, Times Internet, Tanglin Venture Partners, Goodwater Capital, Naver and others.

Co-Founder at Pocket FM (Building Engineering Team- Hiring EMs, Data Science, BI, Backend & FullStack Engineers)
The big moment is here! Thrilled to announce our partnership with ElevenLabs and introduce the AI Audio Series. This initiative will transform storytelling by making it easier than ever for writers worldwide to turn their stories into engaging audio series. This innovation not only speeds up the creative process but also makes creating audio entertainment more inclusive and accessible. Here are some key achievements from our testing phase: • We have significantly increased production efficiency and reduced costs by up to 90% in the early stages. • Writers now experience a 10-12 times faster turnaround in converting stories to audio series. • We have produced over 30,000 hours of high-quality audio content during our experiments, with plans for even more in the coming year. • Users have given us overwhelmingly positive feedback, praising the quality and engagement of our AI-generated narration, which is at par with human narrators. Does it pose a threat to human narrators? Looking ahead, we believe human narration will continue to play a crucial role on our platform. We recognize the importance of diverse expertise in creating amazing audio series. AI narration will complement this by expanding our content library and accelerating our go-to-market strategy. And here's how AI complements the present creation landscape and enhances the audio entertainment industry: • Efficiency: Makes high-quality production faster and cheaper. • Democratization: Allows anyone to create high-quality audio series. • Adaptations: Creates narrations in many languages, reaching a wider audience.Provides realistic voices with emotional and cultural depth. • Content at scale: Produces large amounts of high-quality content quickly. As we expand globally and innovate in content creation, this marks a significant step forward in the evolution of storytelling. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of audio entertainment, enriching the experience for audiences worldwide. Let's raise a toast to the #writers and #listeners who make this journey possible! Big cheers to #PocketFMCommunity, #ElevenLabs, #AIAudioSeries, #Innovation and #Storytelling!
