Shobu Yarlagadda, who has produced films like Baahubali , has invested an undisclosed amount in the angel round of ‘podcast-only’ media start-up Suno India.
“Suno India, through its podcasts, is focussing and bringing to light social and current issues that really need to be discussed and debated,” Shobhu Yarlagadda, also co-founder and CEO of Arka Media Works, said.
The two-year-old start-up, co-founded by DVL Padmapriya, received funding from the Independent and Public Spirited Media Foundation (IPSMF) in 2019.
“We recently crossed an important milestone of half a million listeners with their combination of news reporting ( The Suno India Show ) and vernacular storytelling shows ( Katha Chepava Ammamma ),” Padma Priya, the Editor of Suno India, said.
“This investment will enable Suno India to further capitalise on its position as a leader in the podcast industry in India by rapidly expanding its vernacular content,” she said.
