With the increasing travel time, podcasts have become a great source of entertainment/infotainment for the people in transit.

India has seen a rise in podcast consumption and also a greater rise in podcast creation.

These days you get podcast for almost each and every topic that you care about from pet-care to mental health to something as niche as Lego building.

A digital media start-up, iCafe Podcasts. aims to help personal and corporate brands touch their target audience with logical and entertaining communication invoking wisdom, nostalgia, faith and emotional connect by addressing issues related to their line of business.
