India (17th March, 2026): For decades, storytelling moved from books to films and television. Today, a new medium is emerging in the form of long form audio. Pocket FM is building one of the world’s largest creator first ecosystems for storytellers, where writers can build their own fanbase and audiences by creating expansive narratives, and reach millions of listeners through episodic audio series. What began as a platform where first time writers could publish their stories has evolved into a thriving storytelling ecosystem where creators across backgrounds are discovering global audiences. In the latest example of this powerful shift, bestselling author Ashwin Sanghi is entering the world of audio series with a new and original mytho-historic story exclusively for Pocket FM.
Known for his bestselling mythological and historical thrillers and gripping narrative style, Sanghi will now bring his storytelling into the long form audio format for the first time. The upcoming series is expected to span nearly 100 episodes and approximately 25 hours of immersive storytelling, designed specifically for listeners who enjoy immersive binge-worthy narratives.
Pocket FM’s creator ecosystem has enabled thousands of writers, many of them first time storytellers, to reach massive audiences and build successful creative careers. Several audio series on the platform have gone on to become global hits, reaching millions of listeners across markets and demonstrating how powerful storytelling can thrive beyond traditional formats.
With Ashwin Sanghi joining the growing community of storytellers, Pocket FM continues to expand the range of voices shaping the future of audio entertainment by bringing together emerging writers and celebrated authors on the same platform.
Speaking about the collaboration, author Ashwin Sanghi said, “Storytelling is evolving and audio offers an immersive way to engage audiences by sparking imagination. Writing for an episodic audio format allows me to explore the overlap between history, myth, philosophy, science and culture on a wide canvas in the mystery thriller genre. I am excited to collaborate with Pocket FM and bring this story to listeners.”
Vineet Singh, SVP, Brand Marketing and Partnerships, Pocket FM, said, “At Pocket FM, we are building a creator first storytelling ecosystem where writers have the freedom to experiment with formats, build audiences, and tell expansive stories that might not exist anywhere else. Many first time writers on our platform have already built a massive fan base, and now having a celebrated author such as Ashwin Sanghi enter the ecosystem highlights how the world of storytelling is evolving. Audio has become a powerful new canvas for creators to display their talent.”
As Pocket FM continues to grow its library of original series, the platform is increasingly becoming a destination where storytellers, whether emerging voices or bestselling authors, can build the next generation of immersive long form stories for millions of listeners around the world.
