Three months after launching SVOD service Voot Kids, Viacom18 will soon launch its second subscription-based streaming offering called Voot Select. Set to soon go live on Voot, the premium service will give users access to diverse multi-genre marquee content experiences.

Voot Select is the dawn of a new era in the story of Voot. This is brought alive in the logo which reflects our commitment to providing exclusive content and quality entertainment for subscribers. Minimal, premium, and contemporary, this wordmark distinguishes itself from the mother brand through its form, while being intimately connected with the core brand ethos through subtle gradients and rounded edges. It is a visual translation of the brand proposition to provide the best digital content for a discerning audience.

Speaking about adding further scale to the digital business, Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO & MD, Viacom18, said, “The video on demand market is the fastest growing segment in the media and entertainment sector today.  Subscription led business models are going to be the next big growth drivers in the years to come.

Having established Voot as India’s second largest premium AVoD platform, we think the time is apt for us to unveil our premium subscription offering, Voot Select.  The new premium offering will bring more bespoke content to our always-on viewers.”
