5. YuppTV

YuppTV is the pioneer and one of the world's leading over-the-top (OTT) platform for Indian Content. YuppTV licenses its content predominantly from most of the broadcasters in India, distributing content of premium broadcasters such as Star Network, Sony Network, Zee Network, Sun Network, Indiacast (Viacom 18 Group), ETV (Eenadu Television Network) and many more. YuppTV also distributed one-off premium cricketing events such as World Cup, IPL, Asia Cup and many more across various territories. YuppTV is the legal distributor of around 350+ TV Channels and On-demand content in 8 different South Asian languages globally.

Pirates such as Boss IPTV have been eating into the revenues of legal platforms such as YuppTV leading to millions of dollars loss. The global South Asian broadcast sector loses an estimated $200–$300 million annually due to IPTV piracy. In addition to economic damage, there are serious security concerns: pirated IPTV services often harvest user data-such as credit card information-and are linked to phishing scams, tax evasion, and potentially funding other illegal operations including drug trade and terrorism.

YuppTV has taken a proactive role in identifying major piracy operations impacting international markets and causing substantial revenue losses across the broadcast industry. In this effort, YuppTV successfully tracked one of the most notorious piracy networks-Boss IPTV-which primarily operates in the USA, Canada, and Australia. With strong support from law enforcement and government authorities, YuppTV has initiated legal action against Boss IPTV and its affiliates by filing cases in both India and the USA.
