History
editMuvi was founded by Anshuman Das in 2012. Initially, it was conceptualised on the lines of IMDb with support for video playback where users can watch the trailers, videos of movies, series, short videos while rate and review them. After the year 2013, the company was inclined more towards multicast peer-to-peer streaming and deviated completely to over-the-top content distribution and monetization technology.
