Audio series platform Pocket FM has laid off 75 employees as part of a broader restructuring exercise.

This marks the second round of job cuts at the company in recent months, following the termination of 50 employees in October 2024. Earlier in July 2024, the company had also let go of 200 contractual writers.

Some reports indicate that the final number of affected employees could rise as the process is ongoing and the tech vertical has been significantly impacted in this round of job cuts.

Founded in 2018 by Rohan Nayak, Prateek Dixit, and Nishanth Srinivas. The platform offers over 75,000 audio series across genres such as romance, drama, thriller, fantasy and science fiction. It caters to a diverse audience, with content available in English and several Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Kannada, and Marathi.
