The EIGHT Network: All you need to know about the open interactive social radio

Realising the absence of a live streaming platform for audio creators and listeners, The Eight Network, a first of its kind audio streaming platform, is disrupting the way Indians consume audio content and engage with the artists, just the way they are currently doing on video platforms. Pegged as an ‘Open Interactive Social Radio Platform’, this enables anyone to become a broadcaster by creating their own station and inviting others to enjoy the live stream. Currently, there are a total of 600 million internet users, close to 250 million form the streaming Audio apps segment, making it a lucrative and fast expanding market.

It aims to engage in a fun and refreshing manner, while also exploring fresh content by independent content creators. The app serves as a live streaming platform for audio creators and listeners, to engage in a fun and refreshing manner, while also exploring fresh content by independent content creators.

Majority of the OTT Audio platforms predominantly focus on creating individual, on-demand audio experiences that encourage private listening behaviour, neglecting the engagement gap between the artists and fellow listeners. Eight has been built to bridge this gap by providing a Social Radio experience.

The Indian audio listenership has been growing steadily over the past few years, moving away from traditional radio to podcasts and on-demand OTT Audio streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple podcasts, Gaana etc.

The Eight Network is primarily targeted towards providing audio artists like singers, storytellers, poets, and even virtual DJ’s, a platform to showcase their voice and content in a very portable and hassle-free environment, helping them become Audio influencers/celebrities. Listeners, on the other hand, can tune in at any time and get access to original music or choose from the list of on-boarded artists, start a podcast themselves, voice out their opinions, or just simply share their thoughts. Currently, The Eight Network is the only UGC platform in the Audio space that is focussed on content creators and allows anyone with quality content or voice, to create a show on the platform.

Speaking about the format of the platform, Co-founder and CEO, Mohit Paliwal said, “Audio content consumption is on the rise because of ease of access, portability, deeper internet penetration and the ability to consume content in the background. Unlike other forms of engagement online, audio content doesn’t add to the growing problem of visual fatigue amongst consumers. While on-demand streaming was a step up from traditional radio, there was a need for a platform that allowed easy engagement between audio content creators and their audiences. We aspire to bridge that gap by building the ‘YouTube’ of audio entertainment through The Eight Network. Launched three months ago, we have grown organically with 2X growth in total minutes of content streamed on the platform. Last month, we saw 1 million minutes being streamed with close to 500 new stations being launched organically. Users are streaming content across categories such as poetry, sports discussions, podcasts, talk-shows, storytelling etc. with horror shows as one of the most popular genres on the platform. In the second quarter of 2022, we aim to reach 1 million listeners.”

The Eight Network is co-founded by Mohit Paliwal (IIT Kharagpur), Yugal Tamang (Ex Amazon) and Mohit Goswami (IIT Kharagpur) and is driven through user-generated content.

As the country is going through the merciless grip of the third wave of Covid-19, over 162 thousand of short video creators gathered on a short-video app Tiki and launched a campaign named IndiaFightsCorona with a series of hashtag challenges, such as #MaskUp and #CovidAwareness, which has gained over 903 million views to reiterate the importance of wearing a mask and following other Covid-19 appropriate behavior.

Aiming to pledge to take all safety measures and spread awareness among their followers for the public health cause, the creators on Tiki continue to launch more hashtags spontaneously. The #MaskUp hashtag, launched on January 6, 2022, has already generated 220 million views and the number does not cease to grow. Creators with various talents have been bringing to life the awareness and knowledge of Covid prevention in formats of infotainment, short drama, and even lip-sync while wearing a mask. In addition, a #CovidAwareness hashtag has also been crowded with talented creators and has generated 279 million views on Tiki, which underlines the impact of Covid and its different variations on the community and the need to stay alert.

In addition to the creative and fun videos curated by thousands of creators which makes it delightful for the viewers, there are also doctors and health workers joining the campaigns on Tiki to bring their expertise for social good by creating videos of health knowledge during the lockdown.

Before Varsha put on her lab coat and shared Covid prevention knowledge after the 3rd wave of Covid swept across India, her fans would have only identified her as an influencer sharing lipsync or funny moments. Now she is proud to be remembered as Dr. Varsha who joins hands with other health workers to leverage Tiki to pass on knowledge and to build up public awareness. And she is just one of the 261 thousand users who have already created 1.1 million videos for the IndiaFightsCorona campaign on Tiki.

Covid prevention knowledge

“Taking appropriate measures and not letting the guard down is important to support the country’s fight against Covid-19. This requires us to work together, and do our part including encouraging others to follow Covid appropriate behavior. What I saw here on Tiki is people voluntarily participated in the move and that actually encouraged me a lot to do my role as a doctor and also an influencer when our nation encounters the 3rd wave,” said Varsha.

Tiki India said, “We appreciate doctors and health workers trying their best to fight Covid. We believe online is also frontline, and we’re eager to provide a platform for them to better reach out to the public with their expertise. As a platform that inspires sharing knowledge and fosters a connection between communities, we are glad to play our part in the cause by creating awareness around the importance of following utmost safety measures.”
