Meet Rigi
Rigi is a Bengaluru-based consumer internet and digital entertainment company operating Rigi TV, a mobile-first short-form video platform focused on Hindi micro-dramas and vertical episodic entertainment. The app offers short original series across genres including romance, drama, thriller, family and suspense, using an ad-supported model with optional in-app purchases. Rigi was originally built as a platform for creators to manage and monetize communities through courses, webinars and subscriptions, before expanding into entertainment. Rigi TV launched in 2025 and has grown rapidly; co-founder Ananya Singhal said in May 2026 that it had reached 15 million users. The company is operated by Azalp Technologies Private Limited.

Why work here
Rigi offers candidates exposure to a consumer entertainment product operating at significant mobile scale. Rigi TV reached 15 million users by May 2026, and its Android app has since crossed 10 million Google Play downloads with a rating around 4.8. The company has raised approximately US$25 million from investors including Accel, Elevation Capital, Peak XV Partners and Stellaris Venture Partners. Its founders previously built HalaPlay, giving the leadership team prior consumer-internet startup experience. Public technical references show use of Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, MongoDB, Redis and AWS. Candidates should also consider the execution risk associated with Rigi's relatively recent shift from creator tools into the competitive short-form entertainment market.
Co-founder and CEO of Rigi. Saurav previously co-founded and led real-money gaming company HalaPlay and worked in software development at MoEngage and Searce. He studied engineering at BITS Pilani and brings consumer-internet, gaming and technology experience to building Rigi and its current entertainment products.
Co-founder and COO of Rigi. Singhal previously co-founded HalaPlay with Swapnil Saurav and has experience building consumer internet businesses. He studied engineering at BITS Pilani and currently helps lead Rigi's operations and product evolution, including its move into short-form digital entertainment through Rigi TV.
