Yogesh Dashrath, Country Manager, Storytel India, says “In just 3 years of our presence in India, we already have a very encouraging response to the app. The interest it has generated only strengthens our belief that Indians love stories – no matter what the format is. And more so, in their mother tongue. With that insight, we added Bengali as a language to our service with an aim to have stories reach more and more people. We are thrilled to see the response pouring in!”
