On the launch of ‘Dish-a-thon 2020’, Mr. Anil Dua, Executive Director & Group CEO, Dish TV India Limited, said,

“The amazing response and innovative ideas received during Dish-a-thon 2018 gave us the motivation to organize Dish-a-thon 2020 in a bigger avatar. We, at Dish TV with our DTH brands Dish/d2h and our new OTT brand Watcho, always look at ways to enhance the content consumption experience for our customers and technology plays a huge role in it.
