Designed to bring iconic narratives to life in short, high-impact formats, Historyverse will feature content that blend cultural depth with cutting-edge technology. Sudeep Lahiri, Head of Channels & Distribution, Collective Media Network, added “Historyverse brings mythology and history into everyday feeds — not by simplifying them, but by adapting how they’re told. It’s about meeting attention with imagination, and Mahabharata felt like the right place to begin.”
Rajiv Tiwari, Founder & CEO, Pujashree said, “Mahabharata holds deep cultural and spiritual value, and we’re proud to partner with this new-age interpretation. Supporting storytelling formats that bring timeless wisdom to younger audiences aligns closely with what Pujashree stands for.”
