Recognised for transforming the Indian television landscape, the Company today operates across both traditional satellite broadcasting and over-the-top (OTT) digital streaming through a multi-brand portfolio comprising Dish TV, D2H, Zing Super and the Watcho platform. Its content offerings span over 575 channels, including 87 HD channels, 4 international channels, 19 value-added services, and an aggregation of 24 popular OTT apps, enabling seamless entertainment across screens and geographies.
The Company also offers connected devices such as Dish SMRT Hub and D2H Stream (Android TV 9.0) with Google Assistant and Chromecast support, alongside hybrid products like Zing Super. Recent innovation includes Dish TV Smart+, an integrated digital solution combining DTH and OTT for a unified viewing experience.
Dish TV’s distribution strength is extensive, with 2,207 distributors and approximately 1,33,783 dealers across 9,500 towns, backed by multilingual call centres and a wide service network designed to deepen penetration in semi-urban and rural markets.

Latest Updates on Dish TV India Limited
Hybrid transformation: Dish TV launched Dish TV Smart+, combining OTT integration with traditional DTH to deliver seamless “any screen, anytime” entertainment. This marks a shift towards becoming a comprehensive entertainment ecosystem rather than a pure-play DTH operator.
Watcho expansion: Watcho evolved into a creator-friendly super-app with personalised discovery features. The Company introduced Watcho FLIQS, enabling content creators to monetise their work while retaining IP rights. Dish TV also launched the Content India forum in April 2025 to position India as a global content hub. Watcho crossed 95 million downloads by FY 2024–25.
New commerce initiative: Through a wholly owned subsidiary, Dish TV entered e-commerce with ShopZop, targeting B2B and B2C markets with a focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The Company utilised its extensive offline distribution base to bridge physical demand with online fulfilment, maintaining low inventory risks.
Customer and channel strategy: The Company prioritised retention by shifting from high-subsidy acquisitions to recharge-based initiatives under ‘Malamal’ and ‘Jackpot’. It strengthened its digital service ecosystem using AI-powered chatbots, Adobe Experience Manager and upgraded app and website interfaces. Campaigns such as ‘Dish Ki Diwali’ supported festive season engagement.
Bundled services: Dish TV partnered with broadband service providers to offer bundled packages integrating DTH, OTT and internet services, reflecting convergence across media and connectivity sectors.
Technology & certifications: The Company achieved CMMI Maturity Level 5 (v2.0) for Development and Services and ISO 20000:2018 certification. QR-based signal diagnostics were integrated into the technician app, and cybersecurity frameworks were enhanced.
Governance update: Due to non-approval of certain director appointments/re-appointments at shareholder meetings, the Board temporarily operated with three members—below the SEBI Listing Regulations requirement of six. The Company initiated steps to appoint new directors and comply with regulatory norms.
