Streambox Media, a strategic media-tech venture founded by Anuj Gandhi and supported by Micromax Informatics, Nikhil Kamath, and Stride Ventures, is proud to introduce Dor – India’s First Subscription-Based Television Service. With a focus on technological innovation and a seamless user experience, Dor aims to revolutionize how Indian households access and enjoy entertainment, whether at home or on the go. Launching on Flipkart on December 1st, 2024, Dor will later expand to other platforms and the offline distribution network.

This groundbreaking service combines a high-performance 4K QLED TV with access to SVOD and AVOD streaming platforms, live channels, gaming, news, and more, all within a single, affordable monthly subscription. Powered by the indigenously developed Dor TV OS, the platform delivers an intuitive and unified viewing experience, eliminating the need for fragmented navigation across multiple devices and apps.

Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder of Micromax Informatics, also shared his thoughts: “The home entertainment landscape is witnessing a tectonic shift with the rise of subscription and leasing models. Younger audiences, Gen Y and Zoomers, prefer renting over owning, prioritizing flexibility and value. With Dor, we are introducing a market disruptor that meets these evolving consumer preferences. Leveraging India’s indigenously designed and developed Dor OS, this TV Subscription Service captures what a future-ready technology can achieve across Global Markets. We strongly believe Dor is poised to be a game-changer in the Indian entertainment ecosystem, offering a unified service to address affordability and innovation for our customers.”

Anuj Gandhi, Founder and CEO of Streambox Media, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch: “The Indian connected TV ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with the number of connected TV households expected to grow from 50 million to 100 million within the next five years. However, fragmented services and high upfront costs continue to deter a large segment of potential users. Dor bridges this gap by integrating cutting-edge AI technology, multiple content platforms, and the proprietary Dor OS with its hyper-personalization and intuitive content discovery into a subscription-based model. As a first-of-its-kind TV-as-a-service model in India, Dor positions itself as a future-ready innovation, offering unmatched value to an addressable market with immense growth potential. We strongly believe that Dor has the potential to become a must-have for consumers in times to come, and that’s why we offer a 4-year warranty along with security and software upgrades. We are here to make a real difference.”
