We’re bringing gripping Korean and Chinese micro-dramas to India in a way that feels fresh, addictive and mobile-native,” said Anil Khera, Founder and CEO of One Take Media.

THE MICRO-DRAMA REVOLUTION
Micro-dramas, also known as ‘mini-dramas’ or ‘vertical dramas’, have exploded in popularity in markets like China and South Korea. According to a recent report, short-form video content accounted for over 60% of total video consumption among users aged 18–34 in Asia-Pacific in 2024.

In this context, VertiGo TV brings this trend to India for the first time in an organized, app-based format. With rapid-fire plots, high emotional stakes and stunning production quality, these dramas are created to hook viewers in the first 10 seconds—a benchmark in short-form storytelling. It promises ultra-short episodes. The vertical format is optimized for mobile and it boasts of global content and local feel – carefully curated Chinese and Korean dramas with subtitles, tailored for Indian audiences.
