BookMyShow was founded in 2007 and is owned by the Big Tree Entertainment Pvt Ltd and has seen investments from media and entertainment group including Network18 owned by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries, and global equity investors such as Accel Partners and SAIF Partners in the past.

As of now Mukesh Ambani-led Network18 owns a 39% stake in BookMyShow.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO), Cinemas, BookMyShow, Ashish Saksena said, “TVoD that sits somewhere between theatrical and subscription platforms is a legitimate opportunity window that exists in India,” during the vertical’s launch.

Saksena had called this move an extension of the company’s cinema ticketing business and not one that would compromise on or take away from it.

Mint had said, “After a few sporadic attempts, TVoD or the pay-per-view model that allows users to pay for individual offerings instead of an entire content library made its first big mainstream splash in the Indian market last year, albeit with little success.”

And added, “Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd rolled out Zee Plex in October while Shemaroo Entertainment had launched a TVoD service ShemarooMe Box Office in July”.
