Excitel has announced its partnership with Disney+ Hotstar and eleven other leading OTT platforms, all for Rs 599. This plan can be opted for by existing customers and new customers too. Excitel also provides quarterly, half-yearly, and annual paid plans with additional discounts.
Excitel CEO, Vivek Raina, stated,
“This collaboration aims to support the anticipated growth of India’s entertainment and broadband sectors by offering a comprehensive entertainment package at a competitive price. The partnership underscores the importance of a reliable, fast internet connection for enjoying 4K content and uninterrupted live sports streaming.”
As one of India’s leading Internet Service Providers, Excitel provides services to over 30+ cities. Excitel is also considering launching Smart TVs and expanding its services across India.
Gurjeev Singh Kapoor, Head of Distribution & International at Disney+ Hotstar, expressed his excitement about their collaboration with Excitel. This partnership will introduce Disney+ Hotstar’s extensive premium content to a new audience. Excitel subscribers can look forward to a seamless entertainment experience, featuring a mix of top-tier local and international content across various devices.
The Competition is Heating Up
With this bundle pack, Excitel has now strengthened its arsenal to compete against Jio, ACT Fibernet, and Airtel, which also provide similar bundle packs. For example, Airtel’s XStream Play offers over 20 OTTs in its Xstream Premium pack at Rs 149 each month.
Excitel also faces competition from non-telco aggregators such as Tata Play Binge (26+ OTTs in a single pack), Hindustan Times’ OTTPlay, and DishTV’s Watcho.
