Manoj Bajpayee’s Memoir Headlines Penguin Random House India & Kuku FM’s New Hindi Audiobook Initiative
Manoj Bajpayee’s memoir has emerged as one of the key highlights in a newly announced collaboration between Penguin Random House India and Kuku FM, aimed at expanding the reach of Hindi audiobooks across India.
As part of this partnership, 12 bestselling titles will be adapted into Hindi audiobooks for the very first time, marking a major step toward making literature and knowledge-based content more accessible to regional language audiences. The initiative reflects the growing popularity of audio storytelling and the increasing demand for content that can be consumed easily through mobile devices.
The audiobook collection spans multiple genres, offering listeners a diverse mix of mythology, personal growth, business insights, and biographies. Popular titles include Ram Ki Gatha and Jaya: Mahabharat Ka Sachitra Punarkathan by Devdutt Pattanaik, along with Sach Kahun Toh by Neena Gupta.
One of the standout additions to the lineup is Manoj Bajpayee: Kuch Pane Ki Zid, written by Piyush Pandey, which traces the journey of the acclaimed actor and his rise in the Indian film industry.
The collection also includes inspiring real-life and business stories such as Tata Stories by Harish Bhat and Ek Poora Jeevan by Indra Nooyi, offering listeners valuable lessons in leadership and entrepreneurship.
Books by Ankur Warikoo focus on finance, career growth, and personal success, while Breaking the Mould by Raghuram Rajan and Rohit Lamba explores India’s economic direction and future opportunities.
According to the publishers, the selected titles were chosen for their long-term relevance and strong impact on readers. For Kuku FM, the collaboration further strengthens its vision of becoming a leading destination for premium audio content in multiple Indian languages.
With audio content consumption continuing to rise rapidly in India, this partnership highlights a growing shift toward language-first storytelling and regional accessibility. The companies have also hinted at the release of three additional audiobook titles in the near future.
