MyRepublic, Tata Communications sign deal for disruptive mobile services
MUMBAI: Tata Communications has inked a deal with Singaporean TelcoTech MyRepublic as it looks to expand its services portfolio from broadband to mobile.
While MyRepublic’s new mobile services are now available locally in Singapore only, it wants to venture into Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia in future.
The cloud-based Tata Communications MOVE™ platform will enable MyRepublic to become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) without having to make any capital investments in its mobile network infrastructure or service management.
MyRepublic is also looking to capitalise on the growing MVNO market, which expected to be worth US$ 75.25 billion in the next five years. With support of Tata Communications MOVE™ platform, the company wants to transform itself into Singapore’s first cloud-based MVNO.
“The MVNO market is consolidating and within the next five years, 80% of existing MVNOs using a traditional ‘thick model’ will struggle in a market that is transitioning to the cloud,” GlobalData Asia Pacific Research head Dustin Kehoe said.
Tata Communications MOVE™ also will power MyRepublic’s dynamic mobile plan offerings through its core network offering and end-to-end service management.
“Yet the resources needed for building and managing your own mobile network, as well as the services on top, is preventing many from taking the plunge. Tata Communications MOVE™ eliminates the cost and complexity of becoming an MVNO, helping ambitious companies like MyRepublic deliver innovative mobile services, anywhere in the world,” Tata Communications chief product officer Anthony Bartolo said.

Epic Company launches unified Epic Studio for films and OTT
Vivek Krishnani to head films business; Samar Khan leads OTT & Television.
MUMBAI: Epic just merged its creative superheroes under one cape because when films and OTT need to fight for attention together, you don’t keep them in separate universes. The Epic Company has launched Epic Studio, a next-generation creative and production powerhouse that unites Juggernaut Productions and Movieverse Studio under a single banner. The move creates a streamlined, scalable platform for premium storytelling across theatrical films, OTT originals, television, digital-first formats and branded content.
Vivek Krishnani has been appointed chief executive officer, Epic Studio (Films), overseeing the theatrical and film business with a focus on culturally resonant narratives across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati and Malayalam cinema. Samar Khan continues as chief executive officer, Epic Studio (OTT & Television) and retains his role as chief content officer for Docubay and Epic On.
The Epic Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “Epic Studio brings together our entire creative ecosystem under one unified studio vision. This is not just an integration of verticals, but the creation of a collaborative environment where writers, filmmakers, creators, and brand partners can seamlessly develop and scale stories across formats and screens.”
Vivek Krishnani added, “We are building an audience-focused mainstream film studio committed to delivering fresh, engaging, and innovative stories for both theatrical and streaming platforms.”
Samar Khan commented, “This alignment allows us to approach storytelling with a unified studio mindset. We are building IP under one creative umbrella, with scale and longevity in mind from inception.”
The unified structure eliminates silos, enabling ideas to flow fluidly from concept to screen while adapting to evolving audience behaviour. Epic Studio positions itself as a creator-led ecosystem championing purposeful, resonant storytelling with commercial strength.
In an entertainment landscape where stories now leap between screens faster than plot twists, Epic isn’t just building a studio, it’s crafting a single launchpad where every tale gets the best shot at soaring across every platform.
