OTTASIA
Grabbing the popcorn…
Press Kit · Updated May 26, 2026
OTTASIAPress Kit
Where to watch anything across Asia and the diaspora. A founder-built, free streaming discovery service for 34 markets — 30 across Asia (India to Japan, the Gulf to Turkey, the Levant to MENA) plus the US, UK, Canada and Australia for the Asian diaspora.
The Story
One solo founder. 30 countries. Twelve days.
The problem
Asians juggle 5+ streaming apps to find one show. Netflix, Prime, JioHotstar, Viu, iQIYI, Shahid — each with a partial catalog, fragmented by country licensing. Every JustWatch-style aggregator built for the West treats Asia as an afterthought.
The fix
OTTASIA is Asia-first. Search any title, get instant country-specific availability across 100+ streaming services in 30 Asian markets. Free, no signup required. Built solo in 12 days and already sending hundreds of qualified clicks per day to streaming partners.

The Founder
AT
Anurag Tyagi
Founder · OTTASIA
Anurag is a Chicago-based product builder and co-founder of BrandStori.AI and Flywheelr. He built OTTASIA solo after realizing every streaming aggregator on the market was built for the US first, with Asia bolted on as an afterthought — missing the regional OTTs that actually matter (Hoichoi, Vidio, Shahid, JioHotstar, OSN+, Wavve, and dozens more).
OTTASIA launched on May 15, 2026 and crossed 300+ signups within 12 days, driving real traffic to streaming partners across India, the Philippines, Pakistan, Indonesia, and beyond. The whole product runs on free-tier infrastructure (Netlify + Supabase) and TMDB's public API.
