Not every podcast that matters in India is a chart-topper. Many of the most impactful voices operate just below the mainstream, creating spaces where listeners feel seen rather than spoken at. These under-100K female-led podcasts are growing steadily, but their real strength lies in relevance—addressing everything from modern dating and wellness to cultural chaos and quiet rage with honesty, humour and heart.
