Agarwal added: "We are working on two key things this year. One is expanding programming capabilities, and moving towards the regional language side. We are programming close to 700 shows every month."

Receiving 80% of its revenues from round-the-clock advertising, the company is also contemplating expanding its business portfolio by venturing into insurance space.

In November 2015, Naaptol set aside a 20% stake for Japanese firm Mitsui in exchange for Rs3.4bn ($53.41m) in equity funding.

In order to execute the expansion programme, the company intends to raise additional funds next year.
