Through this collaboration, CloudTV’s 12+ million users across several popular Smart TV brands will now have access to WAVES OTT’s extensive and diverse library, featuring content in over 20 languages across multiple genres. The catalogue seamlessly combines Doordarshan and Akashvani’s timeless archives with contemporary entertainment, news, music, cultural programs, and live events—ensuring India’s stories, both past and present, are available to every viewer, anytime and anywhere.

Abhijeet Rajpurohit, COO & Co-Founder, CloudTV, said, “Our partnership with Prasar Bharati’s WAVES OTT represents a milestone in making India’s cultural and creative richness universally accessible. CloudTV is proud to power this digital bridge connecting nostalgia with innovation, heritage with technology, and the wisdom of the past with the imagination of the future. Together, we are reshaping how India watches, listens, and experiences its own story.”

Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati, added, “WAVES is a manifestation of India’s self-reliant digital vision, a public service OTT platform that brings together Doordarshan, Akashvani, and India’s vast creative ecosystem in one digital space. This partnership with CloudTV ensures that our content reaches audiences across Smart TVs nationwide, allowing more citizens to engage with India’s culture, knowledge, and entertainment seamlessly.”
