ZEE5 HiPi was born out of necessity for Indians. TikTok had been revolutionising the world with it's content, yet it felt very foreign. A homegrown app designed for the Indian masses was required, and we built it.

At the time of launch, HiPi was launched as an addition to the already existing ZEE5 app. This led to it being shown to over 50mn+ users immediately. Users would not need a separate subscription plan, and could immediately start creating the videos they'd want to share with the world. HiPi was part of the ZEE5 SuperApp that was planned at the time, and surpassed all expectations.
Today HiPi stands as a standalone app that over 1 crore users love and cherish.
