The aim, according to a press statement by Prakash Sikaria, Vice-President of Growth and Monetisation at Flipkart, is to empower “young talent by giving them the right platform to tell compelling stories that star an array of talent – from seasoned actors to digital sensations”. The spread, which has been produced by Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment for Flipkart Video, consists of slices of life that are mostly sweet with a touch of the savoury and the spicy.
