Need to engage OTT platforms to take Indian stories global: Anurag Thakur

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Friday said instead of criticising OTT platforms, efforts should be made to bring them on the right track and utilise the same to take Indian stories, culture and traditions to the world audience.

Speaking at a function to release the book ‘Over The Top – OTT Ka Mayajaal’ authored by Anant Vijay, Thakur also made it clear that the government will not come in the way creativity of content creators, but will adopt a zero-tolerance approach if something else is presented in the garb of creativity.

Thakur said platforms such as OTT and YouTube presented a great opportunity for content creators in the country to take Indian stories, culture, and tradition to different corners of the world. PTI
