HotStar

Hotstar (stylized as hotstar) is a digital and mobile entertainment platform owned by Novi Digital Entertainment Private Limited (formerly known as India Interactive Services Private Limited), a wholly owned subsidiary of STAR India.

After the beta version of ‘hotstar.com’ went live in January 2015, Star India officially launched hotstar in February 2015, right before the 2015 Cricket World Cup.

At the beginning, it was intended to serve as a mobile application that would support streaming of the Cricket World Cup with some entertainment content.

However, hotstar expanded its offering with 35,000 hours of content, spread across 8 languages from the entertainment, movie and sports channels owned by Star India.
