India's Pocket FM doubles revenue run rate to $500M as AI generates 93–99% of audio content

Pocket FM, the Indian audio streaming platform specializing in serialized audio series, has doubled its revenue run rate to $500 million, crediting AI-generated content as the primary driver of that growth. The company now uses AI to produce 93–99% of its new content, slashing production costs by approximately 80 times compared to traditional methods.

The dramatic cost reduction highlights how AI-powered audio production is enabling a new content economics model for streaming platforms — one where volume and personalization can scale far beyond what human-only production pipelines allow.
