Podcasting in India is at a very nascent stage,[when?] despite the fact that the nation has a large number of active bloggers.[1] In 2006, there were approximately 3000 Indian podcasters[1], offering programmes in English, Hinglish and various other Indian languages, predominantly Tamil. Many of the current Indian podcasts cater to the Non-Resident Indian community as podcasting inside India is still on the rise. Though the US is currently the most advanced podcast market, industry experts predict that podcasting growth will be exponential in the next few years in India. And so podcasts will become an economically viable standalone industry.[2][3]
