Mumbai: Tata Sky – one of India’s leading DTH and Pay TV platform with the largest number of subscribers – announced its new name and identity, Tata Play, as its business interests grow beyond Direct To Home services. Tata Play promises to make life more Jingalala for its subscribers by creating a seamless and connected world of entertainment.
“Tata Sky leveraged its market leadership in its core business to create an ecosystem of content delivery by foraying into OTT and Broadband. We believe it is time for a brand identity that resonates beyond our DTH business,” explained Harit Nagpal, MD & CEO – Tata Play Ltd. Elaborating further he said, “I thank Tata Sons and The Walt Disney Company for backing this business, which over the years has expanded to 23 million households and made our content distribution platform a formidable player in the market.”

Over the last few years, Tata Sky has cemented its commanding position in the DTH sector. At the core of this rebranding is a change of the company name to Tata Play – an inclusive and scalable identity that will accelerate the forward momentum of the company and aid further diversification into allied businesses.
Inaugurating the new brand identity, Harit Nagpal, MD & CEO – Tata Play Ltd., further commented, “I firmly believe that it’s one thing to own content, quite another to make it accessible. Distribution is what makes content easily discoverable for the masses, consumed, and talked about. Our DTH business has a sizeable market share and we’ll continue our endeavour to expand the TV viewing universe. Our Broadband business with 100% fiber network provides impressive speeds, and that’s why we renamed it to Tata Play Fiber. In the last few years OTT has become mainstream which led us to create an aggregator app called Tata Play Binge – which today hosts content from 13 leading OTT apps through a single User Interface while offering the flexibility of single subscription and payment. We recently announced the Tata Play Binge Combo Packs – an inventive bundled offering that, for the first time, is providing the best of broadcast channels and OTT apps in one integrated pack, making entertainment consumption further consumer friendly. Today, we also welcome Netflix to our family. Plus, we are making service visits free for all customers starting today, and our de-active DTH customers can continue to recharge and get restarted on the platform with No reconnection charges. The name Tata Play thus signifies our expanded range of product and services. The new identity is an outcome of our desire to be future-ready while making tomorrow better than today for homes and families.”
