Bringing unheard, invigorating and raw stories to the ears of a huge audience, the talented Bollywood celebrity, Kalki Koechlin, presents this weekly updated podcast. Stirring conversations and healthy discussions around topics that urgently need to be addressed, it has been created keeping in mind the needs of young Indians living in the 21st century, but I’m sure no matter who the listener is, it will unquestionably provide them with some food for thought. With its Season 2 rolling out at full speed, this show definitely deserves a spot on this list.FOLLOW
While this show is fairly new to the game with only 3 episodes out, it still has managed to capture our interest due to the unique category that it falls under and the niche audience that it serves. FOLLOW is an insightful podcast that revolves around stories of people involved in the Indian audio and visual space. The episodes take somewhat around 2 months to come out and might not even interest the average Indian joe but for those who are involved in either the design industry or the music industry, it really is a gold mine.9XM SoundcastE
