Touted as India’s first regional short-series OTT, Chai Shots is powered by the people who redefined Telugu digital entertainment. The platform hosts premium, vertical stories made for the smartphone generation, with episodes crafted to fit in your chai breaks, bus rides, or midnight scrolls.
Tollywood’s prominent people- Rana Daggubati and Mythri Movie Makers back this new startup that promises a new era of storytelling. The app has an easy user interface and makes consuming content a breeze. This app’s launch strengthens the fact that Hyderabad is the undisputed entertainment capital of India.
The brand isn’t just serving content, but it’s serving creators. Backed by a 20 Crore Fund and a radical Pitch-to-Live in 45 Days challenge, it’s turning storytelling dreams into real shows, fast.
Rana Daggubati said: “Storytelling has always been at the core of what excites me. While I have been a part of entertainment in various forms, seeing narrative storytelling adapt to the vertical, short-form medium through Chai Shots is very exciting. Anurag and Sharath are the true disruptors of the Telugu Film Industry. Nobody understands Telugu audiences better.
Mythri Movie Makers Ravi Yelamanchili said: “This is a very cool initiative. I see Chai Shots not just as a great entertainment platform in the short-form space, but also as a wonderful place for young creators to sprout into the mainstream entertainment industry. Platforms like this build the foundation for the future of our industry. Production houses believe that Chai Shots would be an intermediate platform to find the next bunch of talents.”
“Chai Shots is not just entertainment,” says co-founder Anurag Reddy. “It’s a movement to democratize creativity.” With many noted investors on board, that movement already looks unstoppable.
You can download Chai Shots on Google Play Store and App Store.
