With the launch of Gujarat’s first video and infotainment app, Mobistar, on Sunday, creative Gujaratis across the globe have received a new platform to showcase their artistic talents in singing, music, theatre, poetry and get a name and fame in the virtual world, say the founders.
Speaking to navjeevanexpress.com, Mobistar cofounder Shailesh Vasani said, “Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, “Mobistar” app – the first video app in Gujarat. is being introduced to promote self-reliant India. This application makes sense of the concept of “Make in India”. Mobistar is a platform that helps to bring the talent of people of all ages from India and other countries and increase their popularity. This has filled the vacuum created by the shutdown of many Chinese applications in India.”
When asked about the idea of creating this short-video infotainment app, Shailesh Vasani and Manoj Senghani, founder-members of Mobistar, said, “After the Prime Minister had declared the self-reliant India initiative, we expanded our working style and introduced the Mobistar platform. This app is designed for people of all ages. This is the first application in this segment of Gujarat, in which famous video creators of Gujarat are creating videos and getting active on Mobistar. People can watch videos of their interest through this app. Moreover, this free of cost app has many features that attract people.”
To announce this, we organized this special event, which was attended by about 110 social influencers and some artist guests.
One of the short-video creators is a Masters in Law graduate and working with the Gujarat police department. She said this infotainment platform is a stress buster for professionals like her.
Kapil Vasani, a pioneer member of Mobistar, said, “We have created this app to make culturally rich Gujarat’s talent as well as India’s talent a global talent. Apart from India, people from the USA, Australia, Uganda, Germany, France, Canada, London, Sweden, Spain, Israel, Africa, and Dubai are using this app and so far, more than 1.25 lakh (iOS + Android users) have registered in just 20 days and we’ve got 2.25 lakh videos so far.”.
The programme was specially organized to cheer up the video creators and for the pre-Diwali celebration. Also, a homemade rangoli competition will be held on Diwali in which the winner will get a cashback prize.
