The Viral Fever was one of the early arrivals on the Indian digital entertainment segment with videos covering a range of topics on Indian politics, movies, lifestyle, and emerging social concepts.[3] The Viral Fever was the pioneer of web series in India with cult hits like Permanent Roommates, TVF Pitchers and TVF Tripling.

The company runs the app and website TVFPlay to host their videos. TVF conceptualised the idea of promoting movies through the creation and distribution of original digital content. The Ishq Wala song series is one such venture.[4]

Their first web series, Permanent Roommates, debuted in 2014.[5] It was the second most-viewed long-form web series in the world by June 2015.[6] A second original series titled TVF Pitchers was released in June 2015. It portrays engineers at different companies who quit their jobs to create a startup company.[7] Owing to its growing popularity, with both TVF Pitchers and Permanent Roommates being watched by millions around the globe, the company received $10 million in funding from Tiger Global in February 2016.[8]

Background edit

Early days edit

After graduating from IIT Kharagpur, Arunabh Kumar quit his job as a consultant for the red chillies entertainment to try his hand at production jobs, assisting Farah Khan on Om Shanti Om.[9] After a few production jobs, Kumar began to write and produce his own short films and videos.[citation needed]

Kumar, along with long-time friends and IIT alumni, Amit Golani, and Biswapati Sarkar began pitching shows targeting young people to MTV.[9] Faced with rejection, The Viral Fever was founded when the group came together and released a video titled Rowdies on YouTube starring Deepak Kumar Mishra and Naveen Kasturia. The runaway success of the video prompted Arunabh to create the YouTube-focused video company, The Viral Fever, in 2012.[10]

Growth on Youtube (2012–2014) edit

The Viral Fever released the first Barely Speaking with Arnab video with an interview of Shah Rukh Khan, and an appearance by then and current Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal.[11] Biswapati Sarkar's parody of Indian news anchor Arnab Goswami was widely appreciated. TVF's content was dominated by parodies during these years with videos like Gaana Waala Song, Gangs of Social Media and Munna Jazbaati contributing to the growing popularity of the channel. The channel was recognised as one of the first success stories of original digital content in India.[citation needed]

Pioneering web-series in India (since 2015) edit

After a few years of creating "viral videos", The Viral Fever released India's first web series, Permanent Roommates, in 2014.[12] Featuring then-unknown actor Sumeet Vyas and Nidhi Singh, Permanent Roommates has been watched over 5 crore (50 million) times. Pitchers was lauded as one of the best shows in recent memory in Indian entertainment for capturing the zeitgeist of the Indian startup scene. In 2016, The Viral Fever released the smash hit Tripling, and the widely applauded Humorously Yours. Other TVF network channels like Girliyapa, The Screen Patti and The Timeliners have also successfully debuted web series.

TVFPlay & funding from Tiger Global (early 2016–present) edit

TVF debuted their own platform, TVFPlay, releasing the final two episodes of Pitchers. The platform saw 10 lakh (1 million) hits in the first two days and crashed for 3 hours. In early 2016, venture capital firm Tiger Global invested $10 million into TVF, acquiring a 20% stake in the company.[13] TVF has since launched other YouTube channels for original content: Girliyapa, a female-run channel, The Screen Patti, and The Timeliners, headquartered in New Delhi. TVF currently has offices in Mumbai and New Delhi.
