Xstream Multiplex Sounds Very Exciting

Shashwat Sharma, Director – Marketing, Airtel said the Xstream Multiplex will offer users a larger-than-life experience bringing together Web 3.0 applications and immersive storytelling. With this metaverse, Airtel is trying to tap into a larger audience and also driving people to try out the Airtel Xstream OTT platform.

It is worth noting that Airtel Xstream has crossed the milestone of 2 million paid subscribers. The development was shared by Adarsh Nair, CEO of Airtel Digital to PTI. The company aims to have over 20 million paid subscribers for Xstream which would then create a separate major source of revenue for the company.
