Kuku FM CEO Lal Chand Bisu has accused rival audio platform Pocket FM of launching a smear campaign against his company through fake PR and paid trends on Twitter, specifically pointing to the hashtag “KUKUFM FRAUDULENT METHODS.” Bisu backed his claims with screenshots allegedly showing Pocket FM’s PR team coordinating the effort. Meanwhile, some users also surfaced with complaints about Kuku FM’s refund process, citing issues like partial refunds and lack of transaction reference IDs. Pocket FM, however, has strongly denied the accusations, calling them baseless and affirming its focus on innovation over rivalry. The controversy has emerged at a critical time, as Kuku FM is reportedly in talks to raise $70 million in a new funding round led by Granite Asia.
