CG Telecom vying to enter the OTT market!!
Bharti Airtel has launched its Video Platform as a Service (CPaas) – ‘Airtel IQ Video’, and guess who is one of its first customers? CG telecom, of course!
Airtel IQ Video allows brands to build streaming platforms with minimum investment, as startups and businesses can host their content through Airtel’s resilient cloud and video technologies.
Niravana Chaudhary, Managing Director, CG Group stresses, “We have aspirations to launch a cutting edge IPTV and Video OTT platform as part of our telco offering in Nepal. Airtel’s proven execution in video based offerings with Airtel Xstream and keen understanding of a telecom company paved the way for our partnership. Airtel IQ Video will power both our Video OTT app and IPTV, bringing seamless streaming to our customers in Nepal on devices of their choice. “
While there has been no official news/announcement of the same here, with CG telecom becoming one of the first three clients of the IQ video, it should be expected that CG plans to make a big dive in OTT streaming in Nepal. With its recent foray in the ISP market, it is only a matter of time before we know whether CG telecom will become a disruptive force like JIO telecom was in Indian telecommunications market.
