Viacom18's Video-on-Demand Service Launched in India!
Viacom18, launched its digital VOD platform VOOT, today. VOOT will be an advertising led VOD platform and will be available for free on iOS, Android and web platforms.
In a major move aimed at curating the largest repository of kids' characters in the Indian OTT space, VOOT will house popular characters from across networks - from Nick characters like Dora, Spongebob, Motu Patlu to external popular characters like Chhota Bheem and Pokemon.
The VOOT Originals will roll out shows in both long and short formats across genres like comedy and drama. Bollywood actors Gulshan Grover, Baba Sehgal, Alok Nath and a host of celebrity scriptwriters and directors will be front-lining these shows. Furthermore, Viacom18 will move its entire content library, including COLORS, MTV and Nick, to be digitally available only on VOOT.
Commenting on the launch, Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO, Viacom18, said, "India is at the cusp of a digital boom with over 400 million internet users and 200 million+ smart phone users spending significant amount of time online with entertainment and allied content being the prime driver. As more people move towards consuming content online, it is time for Viacom18 to move into the world of connected screens. Hence VOOT."

VOOT will be Viacom18's singular gateway to quality and differentiated content, in the digital medium."
Echoing his CEO's enthusiasm, Gaurav Gandhi, COO, Viacom18 Digital Ventures explained further, "As a network we are a content powerhouse, be it through our television channels or through our film studio. Our content strategy for VOOT is true to Viacom18's philosophy of inclusive entertainment. Between VOOT Originals, VOOT Kids, our network content and Content-around-content created exclusively for the platform, the idea is to peddle happiness to the 'always wanting' India, racing to go digital. Our marketing campaign, set to kick off in the next few days, also highlights this brand philosophy that is at the core of VOOT. "

Soadies, a comic spin off of the ever popular Roadies, was also unveiled at the launch. With Baba Sehgal in the lead role, the web sit-com produced by Frames has all his trademark antics to laugh your guts out.
