Penguin Random House India and Kuku FM have released 12 Hindi audiobooks as part of their previously announced 15-title collaboration, with the titles now available on the Kuku FM platform.
The catalogue includes works across multiple genres such as mythology, memoir, biography, business and science. Titles available include The Book of Ram, Jaya, Manoj Bajpayee, Tata Stories, and Make Epic Money, among others.
This rollout marks the first time these titles are being offered in Hindi audiobook format, according to the companies. The selection was curated to appeal to a wide listener base and reflects growing consumption of audio content, particularly in regional languages.
Vidhi Nangia, Lead – Audiobook division, Penguin Random House India, said, “The titles we’ve launched on Kuku FM were very deliberately chosen. These are books that have stood the test of time, are widely read, and speak to very different kinds of listeners. Bringing them to life in Hindi audiobooks felt like a natural next step. What makes this especially exciting for us is that this is Penguin Random House India’s first foray into professionally produced Hindi-language audiobooks. It marks a new phase for our publishing programme, one that reflects how dynamically audiences are consuming stories today.”
Ankit Saraswat, Vice President – Business at Kuku FM, said, “This collaboration reinforces Kuku FM’s position as a trusted platform for premium IP holders looking to reach India’s rapidly expanding regional-language audio market at scale. Our mission is to entertain and educate audiences with world-class audiobooks, and Penguin Random House India is an exceptional partner in bringing that vision to life.”
The remaining three titles from the 15-book slate are scheduled for release in the coming months, the companies said, as they expand their presence in the Indian-language audio segment.
The list of available audiobooks includes works by authors such as Devdutt Pattanaik, Ankur Warikoo, Raghuram Rajan, Neena Gupta and Indra Nooyi.
