Mitron TV aims to double its user base to 100 million over the next six months as the Indian short-video firm introduces new monetisation mechanisms for creators on the platform, a top company executive said. The company, which has completed one year of operations, had seen strong jump in user base after the Indian government last year banned a number of apps with Chinese links, including Mitron TV s rival TikTok. It s been a very exciting journey in the first year, we more than 50 million net installs (downloads) on the platform, organically. We started as a two-member team last year, now we have more than 55 members, Mitron TV co-founder and CEO Shivank Agarwal told PTI.
Renjen said the Indian government has performed well in addressing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is India s century and I m convinced about it, the 60-year-old prominent Indian-American business leader told PTI in an interview. I am certainly a little biased given my (Indian) heritage but I m actually convinced that this is India s century because of just the raw talent that exists in India, the number of people that comprise India, the democratic tradition that has been around for 75 years, he said. Observing that the pandemic impacted everyone, Renjen said the pandemic impacted India very hard, given the lockdown that the government had to put in place, given the size of the population and what the virus potentially could do to India.
