In the heart of Pune, a revolution in spiritual storytelling was born — led by Sohm Kurulkr, the visionary behind Cosmostar Media, Maharashtra’s first and largest Marathi spiritual podcasting platform on YouTube. His story is one of resilience, purpose, and a deep desire to bring spiritual wisdom to the local language he calls home.
Launched in 2019, Cosmostar Media had humble beginnings. At the time, Sohm was working in social media marketing, trying to carve a niche in a highly saturated space. Just a year into his entrepreneurial journey, the pandemic hit — halting progress and clouding clarity. While many ventures crumbled, Sohm clung on, refusing to quit even when everything around him suggested otherwise.
The real turning point, however, came much later — at the end of 2023, during a period of intense personal crisis. “I had reached a point where I wanted to give up completely — even on life itself,” Sohm shares candidly. But sometimes, our lowest moments give rise to our most profound purpose. It was in this darkness that a question emerged:
“Why isn’t spiritual or occult content available in Marathi?”
That question sparked a new beginning.
On January 3, 2024, Sohm uploaded the very first Cosmostar podcast on YouTube — and the response was overwhelming. The channel rapidly grew in reach and impact, breaking barriers in a genre previously unexplored in regional media. Today, Cosmostar Media stands as the first Marathi spiritual podcast to cross 100,000 subscribers, with over 20 million views across its content.
The platform features deep, enlightening conversations on topics like the Akashic Records, and interviews with esteemed personalities including the royal family of Akkalkot. These episodes aren’t just popular — they’ve become cultural conversations in Maharashtra’s spiritual circles.
Cosmostar Media’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2024, the brand was awarded Best Regional Podcast of the Year by Jio Institute’s National Podcast Competition, cementing its role as a game-changer in the Indian podcasting scene.
As a creator, Sohm Kurulkr (@sohmkurulkr on Instagram) is now on a mission not just to inform, but to uplift, using the power of regional language, spirituality, and storytelling. His journey is a testament to the core belief of IndianCreators.com: “Everyone is a creator. Every story matters.”
Through purpose-driven content and the power of the Marathi language, Sohm isn’t just growing a platform — he’s cultivating a spiritual movement. And as Cosmostar Media continues to expand, its story will inspire countless other creators to turn pain into purpose, and crisis into creation.
