Flick TV, a mobile-first, micro-drama OTT platform, has raised $2.3 million in seed funding led by Stellaris Venture Partners. The funds will be used to scale content production launching over 100 original titles across genres.
The company also plans to expand into four new regional languages and invest in enhancing its mobile-first streaming experience, driving user acquisition and retention across channels.
The round also saw participation from Gemba Capital and Titan Capital.
Founded in early 2025 by Kushal Singhal and Pratik Anand, Flick TV emerged from a growing need for emotionally resonant, mobile-first storytelling. The platform offers premium short-form content that combines narrative depth with vertical viewing.
“With over 900 million internet users and a surge in mobile-first viewing, India’s appetite for high-quality, short-form drama is booming. At Flick TV, we’re bridging this gap by incubating new-age production houses and building the microdrama equivalent of a film or TV studio. Our goal is to combine creator agility with cinematic storytelling to shape the future of streaming - smart, immersive, and tailored for mobile.” said Kushal Singhal, Co-founder, Flick TV.
The company also plans to build a next-generation content engine, powered by generative AI and agentic workflows, to boost efficiency in scripting, visual planning, and production. From quick script and storyboard iterations to automated visual asset generation, Flick TV aims to leverage AI to speed up content production and testing.
Mayank Jain, Principal at Stellaris Venture Partners, said, “India’s next entertainment wave will be mobile-native, emotionally engaging, and built for short attention spans. The Flick TV team brings together expertise in content creation and testing, along with a deep understanding of user acquisition and engagement—making them frontrunners to innovate and lead this emerging category.”
