Chaudhry also expressed that he is hopeful that the platform will be functional soon, providing a space for local visionaries. The need for a local OTT platform has been highlighted more in recent months after several Pakistani originals were picked up by Indian streaming platforms. Talking to a local news organization, Abbasi had addressed the need and importance of OTT platforms. \u201cStreaming platforms give power back to the content creators. Their mandate of diversification allows for new voices to come to the forefront,\u201d he explained.
