Divo is one of South India’s largest movie rights and licenses holder outside of the major TV / Studio networks.
Shahir Muneer, Founder and Director of Divo, said in a press statement, “Currently, we have over 200 movies and we aim to add another 200 by the end of this year. This partnership with Airtel Xstream is an unique opportunity as it opens up Airtel's network and telco subscribers for us at Divo helping us reach out to more audience and also gives our content and our content partner's a new window to monetise, which otherwise is restricted by the terms or licensing of OTTs.”
