The channel features content from Marathi social media creators while equally targeting families and Gen Z with inclusive, universally appealing content that brings programming to television viewers in new-age formats. Q Marathi is available on leading Cable and DTH operators in India such as TATA PLAY, AIRTEL DTH, D2H, HATHWAY, DEN and many more.
Over the last three centuries, with strong roots in the Marathi culture, theater has evolved as a format of storytelling across various platforms including on social media. "QMarathi Youth-Full Mahakarandak", is an on-ground "big championship" contest that will give an opportunity to the youth of Maharashtra to present their stories and showcase them to a larger set of audiences. The auditions will be spread over more than 100 colleges across five cities of the state with the best of the best chosen and culminating into a mega ground event presented on the TV channel, Q Marathi.
Speaking on the launch of Q Marathi's first non-fiction IP and contest, QYOU Media CEO and Co-Founder Curt Marvis, said, "Maharashtra is one of the most important regional markets for QYOU Media in India. It is recognized to be a hub for dramatics. Recognizing this, Q Marathi's launch of "QMarathi Youth-Full Mahakarandak", is a step forward in creating a platform that will showcase the best of young talent and bring stories that are original and fresh into the limelight. This program is a first of its kind in Maharashtra and is expected to drive engagement within the local creator community and among advertisers like Reckitt Benckiser who are seeking to reach them. This style of an integrated, multi-platform property is one of the many initiatives on our slate in the coming year and we are thrilled that brands are showing immense faith in this approach to achieve engagement with young consumers."
