Chai Shots, a new sensation from Chai Bisket, is India’s first regional short-series OTT, a high-quality vertical video platform designed for smartphone users. Episodes are designed under two minutes, redefining storytelling.
It is launched with a massive Telugu content library and aims to become a dedicated platform for India’s mobile audience. It will soon expand to Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bangla, and Assamese. With the support of Info Edge Ventures and General Catalyst, Chai Shots aims to shift viewers from endless scrolling to structured, high-quality stories and entertainment.
At the Chai Shots app launch event, Rana Daggubati said, “Hi everyone. When there were no OTTs, except Amitabh Bachchan, none of the top stars came to TV. Telugu audiences had only Gemini TV after theatres. I met Sharath and Anurag, and we worked together on TV shows, stage events, and movie marketing. They’ve been part of every journey of mine.”
He added, “Chai Shots has empowered nearly 200 creators. Sharath and Anurag’s ideas are very innovative and creative. They understand the young Telugu audience brilliantly. I’m very happy to be a small part of their journey. I will do anything they need from me. I wish all the investors who supported this idea the very best. I want the content here to become as popular as cinema. I want the creators and stars here to become like movie stars. I will definitely watch all the shows.”
