This lockdown brought about a major shift in the way content is consumed. From binge watching to now being duration centric, the enhanced appetite of the audience has led the creators to present crispier and fresh content that fits their utility. Biiggbang Amusement identifies with that vision and I am thrilled to be a part of it. Together we will create a success story of a platform that is home to some remarkable content available for the audience anytime, anywhere."
