Starting 2026 with a BANG! 💥 As they say in our heartland: "Re mittar, eb toh katti dhuuma uthega!" 🌪️ My heart is full today as I announce that the powerhouse of acting, the true son of the soil, @RandeepHooda, has come on board as the Brand Ambassador for @STAGEdotin 🤝🎬 For years, we have been relentlessly working to upgrade the canvas of regional cinema. We dreamt of a time when regional content would stand tall with global dignity. Today, I can proudly say that the Golden Era - the Amrit Kaal of regional cinema is finally here. We built this revolution brick by brick. And now, to add his immense strength to this movement, Randeep has joined our mission. Looking back, 2025 was a year of deep realisations and deeper value delivery. We unlocked new growth levers, but our biggest victory was cracking the highest watch retention in our history. We have a Retention Playbook in place that allows us to command engagement numbers competing with global giants like Netflix. We didn't just build an app; we built a habit. And this milestone isn't ours alone. We’re grateful to artists & creators for trusting us with their art. STAGE team, for their relentless passion that built this retention machine. Grateful to our investors for believing in the power of Bharat & backing a vision that many thought was "too niche". Today, it feels surreal that two icons - @Neeraj_chopra1 and @RandeepHooda - who represent the best of India for the world - chose to back STAGE - different fields, one clear goal: Entertainment for India’s regional cultures. 🎬

















We believe in the potential of #AIforGood, driving positive change and creating opportunities. @HarshMTripathi presents STAGE's vision at Adbhut India, leveraging AI to Listen at Scale. More highlights coming soon! @PeoplePlusAI #MakingIndiaAdbhut #JanKiBaat #InclusiveInnovation



Every once in a while you get a growth curve that truly fits the hockey-stick metaphor. @STAGEdotin over the past year has been on a tear. 8x subs growth since our late'22 Series A round, and 20x rev growth since then. @vinaykrsinghal was kind enough to agree to my request to share this subs curve online. It is an inspiration for every founder building for Bharat who has to answer questions around market size, whether Bharat will pay?🤦🏽♂️ It has been a privilege for us at @blumeventures to partner with them, and learn from them. A big learning for me has been that the audience for STAGE cuts across all socio-economic classes incl the well-heeled. Cultural products truly have a universal appeal.
