Bollywood Hungama sets the stage for OTT Fest 2025
MUMBAI: Lights, camera, streaming! Bollywood Hungama is all set to roll out the third edition of its OTT India Summit & Entertainment Awards 2025, returning on December 3 and 4 to celebrate India’s booming digital entertainment landscape.
Fresh off the glittering success of the Style Icons Summit & Awards, which saw A-list stars like Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Shahid Kapoor and Malaika Arora lighting up the red carpet, Hungama Digital Media is shifting gears from couture to content. The OTT India Fest will once again bring together creators, disruptors, and dreamers shaping India’s streaming revolution.
Hungama Digital Entertainment founder and CEO Neeraj Roy said the aim is to keep pushing the boundaries of what Indian entertainment can be. He noted that with more than 100 originals already under its belt, Hungama continues to champion innovation, authenticity, and cultural relevance.
From thought-provoking panels to glamour-packed celebrations, the two-day summit promises to blend insight with spectacle, reaffirming Hungama’s place as a trailblazer in India’s entertainment ecosystem.
As co-founder Suleman Mobhani put it, the initiative isn’t just an event but a movement celebrating influence, individuality and innovation. With creators and brands coming together once again under one spotlight, this December, it’s showtime for India’s OTT power players.

Ekart expands IKEA partnership with EV deliveries in Chennai
3PL to handle 600 plus products with 48 hour delivery via EV fleet.
MUMBAI: Flatpacks are going electric and your sofa might now arrive with a smaller carbon footprint. Ekart has expanded its partnership with IKEA to power last-mile deliveries in Chennai, doubling down on speed, scale and sustainability in one of India’s key urban markets. Under the collaboration, Ekart will manage end-to-end large-format deliveries for IKEA across the city using a 100 per cent dedicated electric vehicle fleet. The move makes Chennai the second major market after NCR-Delhi where Ekart handles IKEA’s last-mile logistics, signalling a broader rollout of EV-led supply chains.
The mandate is no small load. Ekart will oversee deliveries for over 600 products from IKEA’s catalogue, ranging from furniture to home décor—categories that demand specialised handling and precision logistics.
Backed by its technology-driven fulfilment network, Ekart is targeting deliveries within a 48-hour window, offering real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility from warehouse to doorstep. The focus is clear: faster turnarounds without compromising on control or customer experience.
The EV-first model also aligns with both companies’ sustainability goals, as urban logistics increasingly shifts towards zero-emission solutions. For IKEA, which continues to expand its omnichannel presence in India, reliable and eco-conscious last-mile delivery is becoming central to scale.
For Ekart, the partnership reinforces its positioning as an enterprise-grade logistics player in large-format commerce. The company already supports over 1,800 retail, D2C and enterprise brands, spanning last-mile delivery, part-truckload services and warehousing.
As India’s logistics ecosystem evolves, this collaboration highlights a growing trend: delivery is no longer just about distance, it’s about efficiency, experience and increasingly, emissions.
