Listen to podcast in background

Why can I not listen to podcasts with the Ken app playing in the background without downloading ? I’m a paid subscriber , for example when I am driving, or just surfing on my couch while listening to a podcast, I should be able to do such a simple.

Content is not insightful enough for justify the subscription fee

Content quality & journalism has very much degraded over the years. There’s no specific insight that one can derive from Ken articles - it’s more news reporting, and anything distinctive is copied from other platforms.

Sad that they don’t process refunds because customers aren’t happy with the quality of output- sure, it will retain a one time subscription fee, but not encourage repeat returns.

Worth it!

Ken Business has quickly become my go-to app for understanding what’s really happening in the Indian business landscape. Unlike regular news apps that just give headlines, this one provides deep insights, context, and well-researched stories that connect the dots.

I really like the way Rohan and PGK cover a wide range of topics—startups, big corporates, policy moves, finance, and even consumer trends. The writing is clear and engaging, so even complex subjects feel easy to follow. It doesn’t overwhelm you with noise; instead, it delivers thoughtful analysis that helps me see the bigger picture.

The app itself is well designed—clean interface, smooth navigation, and no unnecessary clutter. Articles load quickly, bookmarking works well, and it feels like a premium reading experience.

If you’re a professional, student, or just someone curious about Indian markets and companies, this app is an excellent investment of time. It’s not just news—it’s knowledge you can actually use to understand how Indian business is evolving.

variety covered in depth

Since more than an year now, Ken is the only goto place for indepth analysis of any business topic in India. The articles are researched well and most importantly the story telling and narrative is excellent. I eagerly wait for the First Principles on Sunday morning. The new 2 by 2 podcast dwells into stories relevant for India’s growth story. Overall a great companion for my morning coffee everyday.
