Audio Pitara launches top 10 global podcast with Hindi AI narration

Revolutionizing audio content creation

Audio Pitara is a podcast production company with original content in a variety of genres including History, Horror and Romance. Last year, they started exploring AI Audio solutions in the hopes of finding something that could help them achieve low production costs and quick turnaround times, while maintaining the depth of narration needed to engage fans. They chose ElevenLabs because of the quality of our Hindi Text to Speech and are large library of Indian voices. 

Bringing "Dil se Dil tak" to life

Audio Pitara's flagship project, "Dil se Dil tak," is a daily podcast featuring romantic stories voiced by ElevenLabs. Initially, they kept the AI nature of the voice under wraps, concerned about potential audience reactions.

The results were astounding. Tapan Gupta, Co-Founder of Audio Pitara, shares:

"We asked our friends and people from the voicing industry for their thoughts on the podcast and the narrator's voice. To our delight, everyone loved both the story and the voice, remarking that it sounded like one of us was narrating the story. No one suspected it was an AI voice."

Winning the HT Smartcast Podmaster Award 2025 for Best Use of AI in a Podcast is not just a personal milestone – it’s a validation of how creativity and technology can come together to tell powerful stories. Dil se Dil tak with Khushi was a bold experiment in emotionally resonant, AI-voiced storytelling. ElevenLabs’ voice technology gave our character ‘Khushi’ not only a voice, but a soul. This award belongs as much to the innovation as it does to the intent behind it.
