Gaana partners with Green Gold TV for Kids Entertainment Catalogue

India’s largest music streaming app, Gaana has partnered with Green Gold Animation, a pioneer in original Indian animation content to host its kids content catalogue exclusively on its platform. The brains behind some of the most iconic comic characters on Indian television such as Chhota Bheem, Krishna & Balram & Mighty Raju, are all set to entertain millions of young minds across the country.

Over the past few years, the shows produced by Green Gold have been hugely popular across all leading video OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Voot as well as kids TV channels like Cartoon Network, Pogo, Discovery Kids, Hungama & Disney drawing an active viewership of over 60 million Indian children. The sweeping popularity of the characters created by Green Gold has transcended linguistic & generational barriers in creating a lasting impression in the minds of the Indian audience. The ready availability of this content as a part of Gaana’s non-music audio catalogue would be a game-changer in offering the brand the edge in the OTT kids entertainment segment.
