An international audit puts Red FM’s regional playbook under the spotlight 

The American Quality Council certifies the network’s Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan operations for quality and innovation standards

An international audit has brought regional radio operations into focus as 93.5 Red FM’s Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan stations receive certification from the American Quality Council. The assessment recognises the network’s quality systems, management practices, and approach to innovation within the media and entertainment sector.
The certification follows an evaluation of Red FM’s operational frameworks, particularly its ability to deliver structured yet creative brand solutions across B2C and BTL activations. The audit examined how the network integrates technology, content formats, and audience engagement models while maintaining consistency with international compliance and quality benchmarks.

The recognition was formally presented by Santosh Shukla, Chief Executive Officer of the American Quality Council. According to the certifying body, Red FM’s regional operations demonstrated a strong emphasis on audience-centric programming, execution discipline, and innovation-led thinking, particularly in experiential radio and on-ground engagement formats.
Commenting on the certification, Nisha Narayanan, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Red FM, said the recognition reflects the network’s sustained focus on quality and listener relevance. She noted that Red FM’s teams continue to work towards building content and brand solutions that go beyond entertainment, while remaining grounded in responsibility and relevance across local markets.

Over the years, Red FM has received multiple national and international recognitions for its work across radio programming, brand activation, and social impact initiatives. The network has been awarded Golden Mic Awards for radio and on-ground campaigns, AFAQ Media Brand Awards for brand activation and digital innovation, and ACEF Global Customer Engagement Awards for mobile and digital effectiveness.
One of its most widely recognised initiatives, Kabaad Se Jugaad, has received global attention, winning a New York Award and securing a place in the Limca Book of Records. Red FM’s content-led work has also been acknowledged at the E4M Indian Content Marketing Awards and the India Audio Summit and Awards, particularly for regional podcasting and purpose-driven communication.

The American Quality Council is an autonomous certifying body headquartered in Seattle, Washington, providing independent evaluation and certification services across products, services, and management practices. Operating separately from government-linked accreditation systems, the organisation has, in recent years, certified Indian institutions and companies across media, education, aviation, information technology, and consulting.
Red FM operates one of the country’s largest private FM networks, with a significant regional footprint and a strong focus on hyper-local content. Beyond radio broadcasting, the network is active across podcasts, digital formats, on-ground events, and independent music, positioning its regional stations as platforms for expression, community engagement, and experiential storytelling.
