Reaching milestones as Founder & CEO, YuppTV

YuppTV is not any miracle or a Eureka. It was a business driven by the demand. Indians live all over the world. It is a fact that in Trinidad and Tobago 45 percent of the population consists of Indians and they had no access to Indian Television content. TV is great source of one’s culture. And Indians so far from their country needed a medium to connect to their culture. Having thought this I started my company, Global Take Off. When YouTube was launched in 2005, I started YuppTV in 2006. It’s Live TV. I envisioned in a company that converges technologies in providing a virtual home based access to Entertainment, information and communication anytime, anywhere across the globe. And YuppTV came into existence with an identity that was possible only through continuous expansion and innovation.
