Raj Shamani Signs With WME
Developing
In Short: Indian content creator and host of 'Figuring Out' podcast Raj Shamani has signed with WME.
Indian content creator and host of the 'Figuring Out' podcast, Raj Shamani, has signed with WME, a leading talent agency, according to Deadline.
Shamani, an entrepreneur, investor, and author, has built a significant following with his podcast, which features high-profile guests such as Emmanuel Macron and Bill Gates.
The 'Figuring Out' podcast has nearly 20 million subscribers on YouTube, making it one of the world’s largest podcasts on the platform, and it ranks as the number one podcast on Spotify in India.
In a statement to Deadline, Shamani emphasized the importance of democratizing access to knowledge and information.
He said, 'Where you are born should never determine what knowledge you have access to or how big you’re allowed to dream. I started in a small room in Indore, India, with no network and no access, and built Figuring Out on a simple belief: the world’s most valuable knowledge shouldn’t only belong to people who can get into the right rooms.'
What this adds
WME's representation will likely expand Shamani's reach and influence globally.
What's still developing
- Nothing material beyond the confirmed record.
