    The digital entertainment landscape in India just got a major boost as Rocket Reels celebrated its first anniversary in style. On August 24, 2026, the vertical OTT platform hosted a high-profile success party in New Delhi that doubled as a birthday celebration for its founder, Kranti Shanbhag. The event was a testament to the platform’s rapid rise, bringing together industry stalwarts and rising stars to honor a year of redefining how audiences consume bite-sized content on their mobile screens.

    Founder Kranti Shanbhag reflected on the milestone with humility, noting that the platform was built with the mission to disrupt traditional viewing habits. Beyond the creative success, Shanbhag highlighted the company’s commitment to generating meaningful employment for technicians and actors within the vertical content space. This vision has received a significant vote of confidence through a recent investment from Panorama Studios, with leaders Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak commending the platform for its keen understanding of digital-first consumer behaviors and quality storytelling.

    Renowned filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who graced the event, lauded Rocket Reels as a true industry disruptor. By championing the vertical-first format, the platform is effectively opening new avenues for visual narratives. The momentum is clearly visible in their library, which now boasts over 70 original shows, building on the success of their ambitious launch of 10 original series in a single day. In-house director Sajan Agarwal, the creative force behind several of the platform’s popular micro-dramas, was also present to celebrate the network’s expansion.

    The guest list was a star-studded affair featuring notable names like Akanksha Puri, Nyrraa M Banerji, Sana Sultan, Shikha Malhotra, Rasha Kirmani, and Rragini Dwivedi. These celebrities join an impressive roster of past collaborators, including Rahul Dev, Rajpal Yadav, Sharib Hashmi, Sunny Leone, Hiten Tejwani, Barkha Bisht, and Gauahar Khan.
