SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Meet Spuul, a cloud-based streaming video service that provides consumers around the world on-demand access to more than 600 (and growing) premium Indian movies and TV programs. Spuul lets viewers decide where and how they watch, providing content access from a variety of devices including laptops, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs.
As the industry’s premier legal video streaming site dedicated to Indian content, Spuul provides users with an easy-to-use, legal way of viewing premium Bollywood movies and TV shows. To ensure the ultimate end-user experience, Spuul offers viewers a unique resume capability which allows users to watch a movie on one device, hit pause, and then pick up where they left off on the device of their choice.
“When developing Spuul, our goal was to create a service that is flexible enough to accommodate today’s busy lifestyle without sacrificing quality,” said S. Mohan, co-founder of Spuul. “By providing the ability to start a movie on your TV, stop when it is time to leave for work and resume where you left on your iPhone in a train on the way to work, we believe we’ve succeeded in our goal. It is about being able to access quality content whenever, wherever you want.”
To assure users quality viewing, regardless of device, Spuul is powered by a combination of Amazon Web Services, Brightcove's Video Cloud, and Akamai's CDN. Together, Spuul delivers a cloud-based solution offering multi-bit rate streaming, allowing video content to be uploaded centrally and delivered no matter what the infrastructure locally. Quality content can therefore be accessed in different regions without having to rely on local conditions.
Spuul offers current content from some of the biggest content distributors such as Eros International and UTV. Some of the 2011 releases that will be available on Spuul are Yamla Pagla Deewana, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Mausam and Desi Boyz. To view the movies go to www.spuul.com.
