The public criticizes them for the explicit and pornographic content on their site, which caters to a specific niche market. Thus, with a clear growth trajectory, the company wants to improve its position in the cutthroat OTT market by utilizing the revenues from the IPO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">S.NO.<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Check Out These Interesting Posts You Might Enjoy!<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/nestle-india-case-study\/\">Nestle India Case Study: Business Model, Financial Statement, SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/dr-reddys-laboratories-case-study-business-model-financials-kpis-and-swot-analysis\/\">Dr. Reddy\u2019s Laboratories Case Study: Business Model, Financials, KPIs, and SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/larsen-toubro-ltd-case-study-business-model-financials-kpis-and-swot-analysis\/\">Larsen &amp; Toubro Ltd Case Study: Business Model, Financials, KPIs, and SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/mahindra-mahindra-case-study-products-financials-kpis-and-swot-analysis\/\">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Case Study: Products, Financials, KPIs, and SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/enfuse-solutions-limited-ipo-business-model-and-swot-analysis\/\">Enfuse Solutions Limited: IPO, Business Model, And SWOT Analysis<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">What is the number of Ullu&#8217;s subscribers?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">As of September 2023, the Ullu OTTplatform has 20,92,975 subscribers.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">Who owns the Ullu channel?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Ullu Digital Media is an online digital media streaming platform owned by Vibhu Agarwal, the owner of Atrangi, which offers content similar to Ullu&#8217;s.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\">When will the IPO of Ullu come?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The company has filed DRHP with the SEBI regarding the fresh issue of 150 crores.
