Speaking on the occasion, Raj Nayak, Vice President of the Streaming Academy Awards, shared, “When we started the Indian Streaming Academy Awards last year, it was just a thought—that the OTT industry in India deserves its own platform, one that celebrates talent across all languages and regions. To see the response grow threefold in our second year is humbling. It tells us we’re building something real, something credible, that belongs to the entire industry. For me, that’s the most rewarding part of this journey.”
