Vobble is an audio-first immersive media platform designed for children aged 4 to 12. The company was co-founded in 2022 by Neha Sharma, who serves as CEO, and Sowmya Jagannath, the CPO. The idea originated from their shared concern as working mothers about their children's increased screen time during the pandemic. They established the parent company, Avie-Vinson Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., in July 2022 and are headquartered in Bengaluru, India.
The platform provides screen-free, immersive audio experiences through story series, music, podcasts, and audio shows, aiming to enhance cognitive skills and imagination. Vobble produces high-quality, in-house content and also collaborates with global publishers and brands such as HarperCollins, Scholastic, Hasbro (Peppa Pig), Amar Chitra Katha, and Rebel Girls. The content is created with 3D audio effects and often features children's voices. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model, with monthly and annual plans. The company also offers the "Vobble Box," a flagship product that includes kid-safe Bluetooth headphones and activity books corresponding to the audio content.
Vobble has gained significant traction, including an appearance on Shark Tank India Season 3, where they secured a commitment from Namita Thapar. The company has raised a total of $2.03 million over three seed funding rounds. A recent round in March 2025 was led by MIXI, with participation from existing investors like Lumikai and Blume Ventures. Vobble is utilizing the funds to enhance its AI capabilities, develop new products, and expand its market reach, with plans to launch in the US. The company is developing an AI-assisted audio pocket player that will allow children to interact with characters and create their own audio stories using voice inputs.
