Podcasting in India is booming like never before. Whether you want to share stories, talk business, or deep-dive into your favorite niche, there’s no better time than NOW! 🎙️
Here’s a quick, 6-step action plan to launch your podcast like a pro.
1.Pin Your Idea 📌
- Do your research: Look for trending categories on Apple Podcasts and Spotify India. Spot gaps you can fill and check what people are searching for on Google Trends.
- Pick a niche that excites you and resonates with your listeners.
- Look for a catchy and easy to remember name.
2. Get Your Starter Podcast Kit 📦
Your gear doesn’t have to be fancy to begin with, but quality matters. Here’s a list of essentials:
- Microphone – Maono AU-A04 / Fifine K678 (~₹3K–₹5K)
- Headphones – Essential for monitoring your audio. Audio-Technica M20X (~₹4K)
- Recording software – Tools like Audacity or GarageBand are beginner-friendly and free.
- Camera (optional) – If you’re going video-first, go for a DSLR or a decent webcam.
Pro tip: Choose a quiet space — Poor acoustics can ruin great content.

- Schedule your releases on Notion or Trello. Consistency is key.
5. Publish & Promote 📢
- Submit your show to all major platforms — Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc.
- Create SEO friendly descriptions to amplify reach.
- Promote like a creator: Create Instagram Reels & YouTube Shorts. Collaborate with people who can boost your reach. Share behind-the-scene clips for relatability.
