Speaking of the fundraise, Founder & CEO Vikrant Khanna said “80% of the traffic on the internet is video, and content consumption is booming across all sectors ranging from OTT, Media & Entertainment, Short format Video apps, Education or Health care. However, consumer retention continues to be a challenge for content platforms. From a tech standpoint, there are 3 fundamental reasons for this i.e.buffering, poor video quality & the fact that the video delivery workflow is highly complex & fragmented. This leads to sub-optimal user experience & churn.”

This means not only is the end-user experience par excellence but even for the video platform their streaming costs get reduced by 50% while customer retention goes up.” Mogi’s innovative solutions lie in 3 buckets – Core Video tech, Image tech, and white label solutions for OTT & Ed-Tech industry.
