OTT development
for Indian content brands.

Media startups, education publishers, faith and community channels, sports clubs, production houses and corporates in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai that need their own streaming product — not a rented white-label they cannot control.

Need a general business website or a non-streaming mobile app instead? Those have dedicated India pages. This page covers custom OTT platforms: viewer apps, admin and monetisation.

OTT development
questions, answered.

Straight answers on packages, timeline, platforms and ownership.

How much does OTT platform development cost in India?

We use three fixed packages in INR, with GST: Basic for an MVP on one platform, Premium for web plus iOS and Android with subscriptions, and Advanced for enterprise features such as DRM and live streaming. Exact scope is confirmed in a written quote after a short WhatsApp or call discovery.

How long does it take to build an OTT app?

Basic MVPs typically take eight to ten weeks. Premium multi-platform builds usually run twelve to sixteen weeks. Advanced platforms with DRM, live and recommendations often take sixteen weeks or more depending on catalog size and integrations. You get a milestone plan and working previews throughout.

Which platforms do you support?

We build responsive web, Android and iOS. Basic can focus on one platform; Premium and Advanced include web plus mobile. Smart TV apps can be scoped as an add-on if you need them later.

Do you include video hosting and CDN for Indian viewers?

Yes. We integrate cloud storage and CDN so playback stays smooth as your catalog and audience grow across metros and the rest of India. Providers are chosen for your region and budget, and you own the accounts on final payment.

Can my team manage content after launch?

Yes. Every package includes an admin panel to upload videos, manage categories and users, and — on Premium and Advanced — subscription plans, without needing a developer for day-to-day content ops. We train your team at handoff.

Do you help with payments and subscriptions in India?

Premium and Advanced include subscription plans and payment gateway integration. We set up plan tiers, billing cycles and access control for paid content, using Razorpay, UPI and cards that fit how Indian viewers actually pay.

Who owns the OTT platform once it is finished?

You do. On final payment you receive full ownership of the code, store listings and cloud accounts in your name. There is no proprietary lock-in — if you ever change teams, everything hands over cleanly.
