Top English Podcast YouTube Channels in India (2026)

Podcasting has become one of the fastest-growing formats in India's YouTube creator ecosystem. Long-form conversations covering business, entrepreneurship, careers, technology, sports, relationships, current affairs and personal development are attracting millions of viewers.

Unlike traditional audio-only podcasts, many Indian creators have embraced video-first podcasting, making YouTube an important destination for long-form conversations.

Based on the current IndiTubeDb collection shown above, here are some of the top English Podcast YouTube channels in India to explore in 2026.

Top English Podcast YouTube Channels in India by Subscribers

| Rank | Channel | Subscribers | IndiTubeDb Rating | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Raj Shamani](/creator/raj-shamani) | 18.7M | 8.0 | | 2 | [Ranveer Allahbadia](/creator/ranveer-allahbadia) | 11.3M | 5.0 | | 3 | [BeerBiceps](/creator/beerbiceps) | 8.2M | 4.0 | | 4 | [Prakhar Gupta](/creator/prakhar-gupta) | 2.5M | 6.0 | | 5 | [Nikhil Kamath](/creator/nikhil-kamath) | 2.3M | 9.0 | | 6 | [Oaktree Sports](/creator/oaktree-sports) | 2.1M | 8.0 | | 7 | [Unplugged Shubhankar](/creator/unplugged-shubhankar) | 1.8M | Not rated | | 8 | [Humans of Bombay](/creator/humans-of-bombay) | 1.3M | Not rated | | 9 | [Dostcast](/creator/dostcast) | 1.3M | Not rated | | 10 | [AfterHours with...](/creator/afterhours-with-all-about-eve) | 1.0M | Not rated | | 11 | [ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash](/creator/ani-podcast-with-smita-prakash-clips) | 820K | Not rated | | 12 | [Yuvaa](/creator/yuvaa) | 501K | Not rated |

Subscriber counts and ratings are based on the supplied IndiTubeDb listing and can change over time.

1. Raj Shamani — 18.7M Subscribers

With approximately 18.7 million subscribers, [Raj Shamani](/creator/raj-shamani) is the largest English Podcast creator in the current IndiTubeDb collection.

His long-form conversations cover subjects such as entrepreneurship, money, business, careers, personal experiences and success stories.

The enormous subscriber count also demonstrates how far podcasting has moved into mainstream Indian YouTube.

Raj Shamani currently has an 8.0 IndiTubeDb rating.

2. Ranveer Allahbadia — 11.3M Subscribers

[Ranveer Allahbadia](/creator/ranveer-allahbadia) has approximately 11.3 million subscribers in the current listing.

His podcast content spans a particularly wide range of topics and guests, making his channel one of the most recognizable names associated with India's YouTube podcast ecosystem.

The channel currently carries a 5.0 IndiTubeDb rating.

3. BeerBiceps — 8.2M Subscribers

[BeerBiceps](/creator/beerbiceps) has approximately 8.2 million subscribers.

The channel has evolved considerably from its earlier creator identity and now includes substantial long-form conversational and documentary-style content.

It currently has an IndiTubeDb rating of 4.0.

The presence of both Ranveer Allahbadia and BeerBiceps in this collection is also useful from a discovery perspective: users can explore individual channels rather than treating a creator's entire content ecosystem as a single entity.

4. Prakhar Gupta — 2.5M Subscribers

With approximately 2.5 million subscribers, [Prakhar Gupta](/creator/prakhar-gupta) is another major creator in the Indian long-form conversation space.

His content frequently revolves around extended discussions, ideas, personal experiences and conversations with guests.

Prakhar Gupta currently carries a 6.0 IndiTubeDb rating.

5. Nikhil Kamath — 2.3M Subscribers

[Nikhil Kamath](/creator/nikhil-kamath) has approximately 2.3 million subscribers, but one metric makes the channel particularly notable in this collection: its 9.0 IndiTubeDb rating.

That is the highest displayed rating among the English podcast channels shown here.

His long-form conversations frequently explore entrepreneurship, investing, business, technology and broader societal questions.

For users specifically interested in Indian business and entrepreneurship podcasts, this is an important channel to discover.

6. Oaktree Sports — 2.1M Subscribers

[Oaktree Sports](/creator/oaktree-sports) currently has approximately 2.1 million subscribers and an 8.0 IndiTubeDb rating.

Its inclusion highlights how podcasting isn't restricted to generic celebrity interviews or entrepreneurship.

Sports itself can support a substantial long-form conversational ecosystem, giving viewers deeper access to athletes, stories and experiences than conventional short interviews often provide.

7. Unplugged Shubhankar — 1.8M Subscribers

[Unplugged Shubhankar](/creator/unplugged-shubhankar) has approximately 1.8 million subscribers.

The channel is another example of India's growing personality-driven interview and conversation format.

It has not yet received a rating in the supplied IndiTubeDb listing.

8. Humans of Bombay — 1.3M Subscribers

[Humans of Bombay](/creator/humans-of-bombay) has approximately 1.3 million subscribers.

Storytelling and personal experiences fit naturally into podcast-style content because guests have enough time to explain their journeys rather than compressing them into a few minutes.

This makes human-interest conversations an important subcategory within Indian podcasting.

9. Dostcast — 1.3M Subscribers

[Dostcast](/creator/dostcast) also has approximately 1.3 million subscribers.

The channel represents the conversational side of Indian podcasting, where long-form discussions can move across multiple subjects rather than being restricted to one narrowly defined topic.

10. AfterHours with... — 1.0M Subscribers

[AfterHours with...](/creator/afterhours-with-all-about-eve) currently sits at approximately 1 million subscribers in the supplied collection.

Crossing the million-subscriber threshold demonstrates that India's podcast audience extends considerably beyond the few creators who dominate mainstream recognition.

11. ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash — 820K Subscribers

[ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash](/creator/ani-podcast-with-smita-prakash-clips) has approximately 820,000 subscribers.

Its presence introduces another major podcast segment: conversations involving public affairs, politics, governance and current events.

This type of long-form interview can offer substantially more depth than a short news clip or conventional television interview.

12. Yuvaa — 501K Subscribers

[Yuvaa](/creator/yuvaa) currently has approximately 501,000 subscribers.

Although smaller than the multimillion-subscriber channels at the top of this collection, half a million subscribers is still a substantial audience.

It also illustrates why creator discovery shouldn't stop at the top five channels.

Which Are the Biggest English Podcast Channels in India?

The subscriber distribution is interesting.

The top three channels in this IndiTubeDb collection are significantly larger than the rest:

Raj Shamani — 18.7M

Ranveer Allahbadia — 11.3M

BeerBiceps — 8.2M

After that comes Prakhar Gupta at 2.5M.

That means Raj Shamani alone has more subscribers than several of the smaller channels in this list combined.

But subscriber count doesn't automatically tell users which podcast they will enjoy most.

That's where categorization, ratings and eventually more user reviews can make IndiTubeDb useful.

Best-Rated English Podcast Channels on IndiTubeDb

Among channels that currently have ratings in the supplied collection:

| Channel | Rating | | --- | --- | | Nikhil Kamath | ⭐ 9.0 | | Raj Shamani | ⭐ 8.0 | | Oaktree Sports | ⭐ 8.0 | | Prakhar Gupta | ⭐ 6.0 | | Ranveer Allahbadia | ⭐ 5.0 | | BeerBiceps | ⭐ 4.0 |

The important distinction is that subscriber ranking and community rating are two different signals.

For example, Nikhil Kamath has a much smaller subscriber base than Raj Shamani, but currently has the highest IndiTubeDb rating among these channels.

As more IndiTubeDb users contribute ratings and reviews, this distinction could become much more useful for podcast discovery.

What Do Indian English Podcasts Talk About?

The category is surprisingly diverse.

Business & entrepreneurship — founders, investors, startup operators and business leaders discussing companies, money and careers.

Personal development — conversations around habits, productivity, relationships and life experiences.

Technology — AI, startups, innovation and the future of technology.

Sports — athletes, competitions and behind-the-scenes sporting experiences.

Current affairs — politics, public policy and major national issues.

Human stories — personal journeys, challenges and unusual life experiences.

Entertainment & culture — actors, creators, artists and other personalities discussing their work and lives.

This diversity means "Podcast" itself can eventually become large enough on IndiTubeDb to support additional discovery layers.

Why Video Podcasts Are Growing in India

Podcasting in India increasingly means more than listening to audio.

YouTube allows creators to combine the depth of podcasts with the discoverability of video.

One long interview can produce a full episode plus multiple clips and Shorts, each of which can introduce a different audience to the original conversation.

For viewers, video also adds expressions, body language and other visual context that isn't available in an audio-only podcast.

That makes YouTube particularly well suited to India's creator-driven podcast market.

Discover Indian Podcasts with IndiTubeDb

Searching "Indian podcast" on a general video platform can produce an enormous mixture of clips, episodes and unrelated recommendations.

IndiTubeDb can approach the problem differently.

Users can discover creators through combinations such as:

English + Podcast

and then evaluate them using information such as subscriber size, ratings and reviews.

As the database grows, this could become even more useful with discovery pages around topics such as business podcasts, sports podcasts, technology podcasts and regional-language podcasts.

Your existing Bengali podcast collection also demonstrates why the language dimension matters: someone looking for a Bengali conversation and someone looking for an English business podcast have very different discovery intentions.

Final Thoughts

India's English-language YouTube podcast ecosystem has already moved well beyond being a niche format.

Raj Shamani (18.7M), Ranveer Allahbadia (11.3M) and BeerBiceps (8.2M) demonstrate the enormous scale that long-form content can achieve, while creators such as Nikhil Kamath, Prakhar Gupta, Oaktree Sports, Dostcast and Humans of Bombay show how many different forms the category can take.
