Storytelling platform Tape a Tale has over 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube. This Sunday, the organisation that has helmed over 200 shows across the country readies to present the second edition of Kahaaniya Showcase, where some of India's finest tellers – including an actor, YouTuber, and mentalist - take the stage.
