From watching Comedy Circus on television to India’s Got Latent on YouTube, the comedy scene in India has grown immensely in the last decade. Different platforms are investing in different comedy shows observing the comedy genre’s rise among Indian masses.
So, when Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent became a success, he rode on the success of the show to launch the comedy app of the show in 2025. His goal for India’s Got Latent app is to turn it into an independent OTT platform. All episodes and BTS of the show are available on the app for yours’ truly.
The show has a staggering 25 million views on each episode, driven by Samay’s 6.7 million subscribers and fans of the show. The show has 12 episodes featuring various celebrities, influencers, YouTubers, and comedians creating hilarious sketches. Any clips of the show and Samay Raina have been getting extensive views and positive reactions from netizens.
The app is available on the Google Play Store, and within 24 hours, it has captured the top 50 spot. Additionally, in Apple’s App Store, his app has captured the No. 1 position. Through the app, you can participate in the show, become a member, or connect your YouTube membership, costing 59 rupees per month, to Samay’s account.
Raina’s Comicstaan days led him to fame with India’s Got Latent. His initial hesitation in moving his show to the OTT platform over YouTube is because of creative freedom. Additionally, his love for the membership programs that let comedians earn is a big pro for the stand-up comedian. However, the app in question seems to have allowed the creative freedom of brands on their art through their guidelines, ensuring freedom for comedians.
You can access other stars of the show through this app along with other original shows like Kavya Samrat, a collaborative poetry show in India with Tape A Tale. The app also features several other rap and poetry shows. So, this app is designed to offer artists freedom from brand-imposed guidelines, leading to Raina shifting his show on the platform.
