The Indian Consumer has a huge unfulfilled hunger for video content that is often limited by affordability, technical challenge, broken platform experience for consumers on the one hand. On the other hand, businesses, have not fully figured out how to smartly leverage video outreach and monetise this ‘Consumer Hunger’. This is where VuLiv Player comes in, where 1 single technology platform gives consumers access to all video, multimedia content without the price tag & provide smart businesses a channel to engage with emerging market internet consumer segments.

Having been a part of few exciting journeys – Airtel, a start-up who built global scale, & Microsoft who effectively managed global scale, I see video as big opportunity to reach to the mass of India. Delighted to partner with Team VuLiv Player in this journey from consumer insights to profitable scale and help democratize video.

Mr. Rajive Chandra added, “When I first heard about the product proposition from Manoj, I instantly recognized the massive potential of the platform to disrupt multiple businesses and saw potential to do wonders to India’s entertainment consumption pattern. India is a user generated and user oriented market therefore it is extremely important for the brands and telecom industry to acknowledge the potential of bringing offline consumers on online and stay connected. VuLiv Player has simply achieved this circuitous task with its technology innovation. It has provided a new definition to OTT Video in India.”

With Internet affordability on the rise more than ever, there is crying need to build an “access” bridge for those multi million unstable internet customers to the connected world on 1 single platform that Simplifies Entertainment Playback without worrying about 4G Network or 4GB Smartphone
