Happy new year!

 

Each passing year is a blessing after 2020. In 2021, the world saw its reign change hands from anytime-anywhere to  the four walls of home. The pause however brought with it new opportunities of growth for many sectors of business, all around. The entertainment industry too saw a 360 degree turn in how material was broadcasted and consumed. The turn almost marked the start of the OTT reign with not only entertainment, but also infotainment, education, and live events boarding the bandwagon to success. It paved the way for new talent, opened the window for international entertainment to shine and has since been helping the world go one, with multi-device entertainment at its base. 

2021 also marked the year of innovations. New products and services to support the new lifestyle, new software to help businesses deal with the world online marked the entire calendar. We at Muvi didn’t just follow the transition, we brought about benchmark updates and innovations in our product (25 major core feature changes, plus tons of minor changes), and came up with robust new solutions (like Tattle, Koviare) to add to the ecosystem. 

We are absolutely thrilled to compile and share with everyone, the major feature changes across our 5 products – Muvi One, Muvi Flex, Muvi Live, Aie & Muvi Billing marking the year 2021.
