Raj Shamani signs with WME as Figuring Out tops charts in India
Indian podcaster and entrepreneur Raj Shamani has signed with WME in all areas. Deadline reported the signing as an exclusive on 6 October 2026.
The deal is broad. A signing in all areas, meaning one agency represents a client across all of their work rather than for a single project, is the fullest form of representation. WME is a major talent agency based in the United States.
Shamani hosts Figuring Out with Raj Shamani, usually shortened to Figuring Out. He is described as an Indian entrepreneur, investor and author. That mix of business and media work is central to his public profile.
The audience is large. Figuring Out with Raj Shamani has nearly 20 million subscribers, according to Deadline. That figure covers followers who sign up to receive new episodes and videos automatically. It is a substantial base for any interview show.
The show also leads a key audio chart. It is the number one ranked podcast on Spotify in India. Spotify is one of the main platforms where listeners find and stream podcasts. WME described Figuring Out as one of the world's biggest podcasts on YouTube, the video platform where many podcasts now publish full episodes.
Past guests include French President Emmanuel Macron, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and NASA astronaut Sunita Williams. The list spans politics, business, sport, science and spaceflight. Long-form interviews, meaning unhurried conversations that often run for an hour or more, are the show's main format.
Shamani's work extends beyond the microphone. He is the founder of Figuring Out Media, his own media company. He also founded the Figuring Out Academy, an education venture. He wrote the book Build, Don't Talk, published in 2022.
What makes this stand out is the range. Presidents and business leaders rarely share a guest list with athletes, scientists and astronauts. That breadth helped build the subscriber count now attached to the WME agreement.
