Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Mr. Anurag Thakur is in the good books of the Netflix cofounder. Having gone in the footsteps of the country’s leadership, Mr. Narendra Modi, his gesture of presenting a copy of the Bhagwat Gita to Mr. Reed Hastings went extremely well with the social media community. Visiting India recently and in conversation with the young politician, he appreciated Thakur’s gesture.

Putting his best Indian foot forward, their discussion concluded that indeed India has some great content to offer to the OTT platform that is one of the highest watched with a massive subscriber base in the world.
