Viacom18’s digital arm Viacom18 Digital Ventures has gone live with India’s most inclusive kids’ entertainment and fun learning OTT application- VOOT Kids.
Catering to the digitally native kids’ ecosystem, VOOT Kids is all set to redefine entertainment and pedagogy through a diverse and multi-genre content offering across ‘Watch, Read, Listen and Learn’ segments.
Further expanding the entertainment experience in the kids’ category, VOOT Kids, the all new fun edutainment platform, has engaged with iconic brands including Oxford University Press (OUP) to fortify its rich content library by licensing 175 junior fiction and non-fiction titles. The 500+ e-books now available on VOOT Kids, are all set to provide an immersive reading experience to children across the nation.
Offering the most pedagogically advanced learning and educational content, OUP is a globally well-known and trustworthy brand with a wide range of children’s books.

Speaking on this occasion, VOOT Kids business head Saugato Bhowmik said, “Kids today are screenagers and have emerged as prolific users of content on digital. As digital natives, they are the first to adopt trends on digital. It was hence imperative to create a platform that offers holistic entertainment and learning experience that would improve quality and relevance of content consumption by kids on digital. VOOT Kids is just that – an inclusive app aimed at enriching Kids’ entertainment and learning experience on digital through immersive segments that encourage reading, story-telling, quizzes, and more. Kids love stories and the addition of junior fiction titles from Oxford on VOOT Kids are sure to add significant diversity and value to our vast content slate.”
With over 5000 hours of content consisting of children’s all-time favourite Indian and International shows like Dora the Explorer, Oswald, Motu Patlu, Peppa Pig, Chhota Bheem, Ben10, Barbie Dreamtopia, diverse book titles , immersive audio books and fun learning games, VOOT Kids is all set to offer a dynamic and inclusive experience of fun, learning and entertainment.
“We are delighted to partner with VOOT Kids, and support its users’ learning through reading for pleasure. We commend VOOT Kids in its mission to bridge the gap between learning, knowledge and entertainment, and this collaboration with VOOT Kids will allow Oxford University Press to introduce even more readers to many of its most-loved books for children,” added Oxford University Press senior business development manager Giuseppe Trapan.
