Another Milestone for JadooTV, Secures Backing from Intel Capital San Francisco: JadooTV announced today that it has gained backing in the form of a major investment from Intel Capital, Intel's global investment and M&A organization. JadooTV is the leading cloud-based Over The Top (OTT) platform offering Live & On-Demand content to South Asian, Afghani, and Iranian diaspora worldwide. JadooTV licenses content from leading multicultural content owners and offers it to consumers via its proprietary set-top box, tablet and multi-platform apps. The JadooTV service has gained immense popularity among expatriate viewers due to its economical cost, ease of use, and hassle-free connectivity via the Internet, offering viewers an abundance of news and entertainment content from their homelands. “JadooTV has been a tremendous hit amongst multicultural consumers and the only challenge for us has been the ability to scale to meet the explosive demand,” said JadooTV CEO Sajid Sohail in a statement today. “This round of funding will enable us to improve our product offering, meet increased product demand, and license a diversity of content benefiting thousands of JadooTV consumers.” The JadooTV platform has also become popular amongst new and emerging broadcasters allowing them to reach globally distributed viewers in a cost effective manner. Broadcasters can stream their channels at source via JadooTV either from their native satellite-delivered beam, or from streams they deliver on the Internet. Broadcasters save thousands of dollars in costly signal backhaul charges by opting for the JadooTV platform, and can pass these savings to consumers.
