GURGAON, India, March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ViewLift, a global leader in end-to-end streaming and OTT (over-the-top) solutions, announced today the addition of Manish Manwani as sales director to oversee strategic outreach in India. Additionally, the company announced its new customer, Oho Gujarati, the first VOD entertainment platform dedicated to Gujarati content. The platform selected ViewLift to modernize and scale its existing platform to reach global audiences.
With more than six years of experience across sales for the broadcasting and streaming industry, Manwani will oversee the sales outreach across India’s streaming and content space and drive revenue growth. Before ViewLift, Manwani served as sales manager and senior executive at leading broadcast media companies, Planetcast Media Services and Viu. While at Planetcast, Manwani spearheaded the OTT vertical with a major revenue focus on the Indian market.

In addition to Manish as sales director, ViewLift announced its new customer, Oho Gujarati, to bolster its business presence across India. Roughly 60 million people across the globe speak the Gujarati language, creating the need for hyper-local content for Gujarati speakers. With a mission to provide entertainment across India, Oho Gujarati launched in March 2021 and has over 50,000 subscribers. The streaming platform has 26 hours of original content, including 18 originals, and plans to release two originals every month.
