Hubhopper is a comprehensive platform for podcast management, offering tools for creation, hosting, distribution, and monetization. Founded in 2015 by brothers Gautam Raj Anand and Uday Raj Anand, the Delhi-based company initially launched as a social network before evolving into a content aggregation platform and then into a dedicated, end-to-end podcasting solution. The venture was born from Gautam's personal desire to simplify content consumption and a goal to bridge the gap between content creators and consumers. Before Hubhopper, Gautam, an Economics graduate, worked as a Senior Risk Analyst at Barclays Bank.
The platform enables creators to record, edit with an in-built audio editor, host, and distribute their podcasts to over 35 global streaming services, including Spotify, Amazon Music, and Google Podcasts, with a single click. It provides services for independent creators, brands, and major media houses. Hubhopper offers both a free basic plan and a 'Pro' subscription plan with advanced features. Key features include unlimited storage, IAB-compliant advanced analytics on audience demographics and performance, embeddable players for websites, and tools for monetization through ads and listener contributions. The company has secured $1.08 million in funding over several rounds from investors such as Hindustan Media Ventures and ITI Growth Opportunities.
