Kuku FM

Overview

Kuku FM is a vernacular audio and video content platform founded in 2018 by three IIT Jodhpur graduates. Based in Mumbai, it focuses on delivering long-form storytelling and educational content in regional Indian languages, catering primarily to non-English speakers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.

The platform offers a range of services, including an audio-first app featuring audiobooks, podcasts, and storytelling shows, plus a video platform that presents long-form stories in bite-sized episodes. It also includes a devotional app centered on Hindu mythology and a platform for microdramas. With content available in over eight Indian languages, it emphasizes original and exclusive content, with a significant portion of listening attributed to its own productions. Kuku FM has surpassed 10 million paid subscribers and recorded 460 million daily streams in FY23.
