Delighted to announce the BEST WEB SERIES AWARD @IFFIGoa to be presented to an exceptional web series for its artistic merit, storytelling excellence, technical prowess and overall impact.
India is filled with exceptional talent; I encourage you to tell the story of a rising and aspirational New India - ready to lead the world, with a billion dreams and a billion untold stories!
The Award will be given to an original web series on an OTT platform, originally shot and available in an Indian language.
The Award aims to incentivise and create investment opportunities in India’s OTT sector, encourage content in Indian languages, recognise exceptional talent and foster growth & innovation of the OTT industry.
Beginning this year at the 54th International Film Festival of India, the award will be presented annually!
Interacted with representatives of leading OTT platforms today on various issues including content regulation, user experience, enhancing accessibility for the specially abled and overall growth & innovation of the sector.
OTT platforms have revolutionised the way we consume content, spurred new talent and showcased regional content at a global scale.
OTT players have a responsibility of ensuring that their platform does not propagate vulgarity and abuse camouflaged as ‘creative expression’.
India is a diverse country; OTTs must also reflect the collective conscience of the country and provide a healthy viewing experience for people of all age groups.
Platforms must also be sensitive to our cultural diversity as we unleash India’s creative economy.
Ministry of I&B looks forward to furthering partnerships and engagements towards achieving this goal.

@Ash_Mhltr@AkasaAir@NoidaAuthority @RNTata2000 @DGCAIndia Nuisance and extremism on either side should be tackled strictly be it from fellow passengers or dog owners. In countries where dogs are allowed , the dogs and their owners both know how to behave themselves. I doubt about this being a success in India.
Was really looking forward to rooting for our cinema at the India Pavilion at #Cannes2022, but have sadly tested positive for Covid. Will rest it out. Loads of best wishes to you and your entire team, @ianuragthakur. Will really miss being there.
