Pocket FM Shuts Pocket TV Despite India’s Microdrama Boom

Audio entertainment platform Pocket FM has shut its microdrama vertical Pocket TV, as it plans to focus on its flagship audio platform. A company spokesperson told Inc42 that the vertical was launched as a beta product to explore the microdrama category but did not make any material contribution to Pocket FM’s business. “As with any product experiment, we periodically evaluate performance and strategic fit, and any decisions related to Pocket TV are part of that normal process.
