Dentsu India launches Dentsu Podcast Network 

Dentsu India has launched the Dentsu Podcast Network (DPN), a vertical designed to help brands connect with audiences through one of the most intimate and fastest-growing storytelling formats in the country.

To power this vision, dentsu has onboarded Aditya Kuber, Agith Kuruvilla, and Ashwin Gangakhedkar as Vice Presidents. 

Reporting to Sahil Shah, CEO, Dentsu Creative Isobar, the trio brings unmatched expertise in multilingual content creation, monetisation, and brand integration. 

Sahil Shah said, “Podcasts are no longer a niche; they are the most immersive and authentic way to connect with audiences across languages. With the Dentsu Podcast Network (DPN) and the proven expertise of Aditya, Agith, and Ashwin, we are creating a future-ready solution that can tap into India’s cultural pulse and deliver meaningful impact for branded narratives. This is about stories that resonate deeply, travel widely, and perform consistently.”

Aditya, Agith, and Ashwin jointly added, “Podcasting is the next frontier for India’s creators and brands - a place where stories become culture, and culture becomes connection. In a country of many languages and countless subcultures, podcasts offer brands a powerful, human, and hyper-local medium to engage audiences like never before. With dentsu’s global scale and India’s creative energy, we are ready to reimagine how podcasts are created, distributed, and monetised - from vernacular hits to national chart-toppers, from audio intimacy to video innovation. For the first time in India, a podcast network is embedded within a global agency ecosystem, making it a core pillar of modern brand and media strategy.”
