Pocket FM says 1 in 5 monetised creators earn over ₹1 lakh a month: Here’s how they make money
Pocket FM said more than 1% of its creators now earn over ₹1 lakh a month, as the platform’s total creator payouts have crossed ₹300 crore and it targets ₹1,000 crore by 2026. The company, which has raised about $197 million including a $103 million Series D round, said its growth has come alongside rising use of AI tools, expansion in Indian languages and higher global distribution. Media reports said its parent firm Pocket Entertainment recorded a 68% increase in revenue to ₹1,768 crore in FY25 from ₹1,052 crore a year earlier.
The company said more than 300,000 creators published stories on the platform over the past year, many using AI-assisted tools to produce episodic audio content.
