Now, before we introduce the tvfplay.com\u2019s features and functionalities, let\u2019s first go through the interesting story of TVF team.<\/p>\n

TVF Story: Bumps and Bumps and Bumps Then a Long Smooth Ride<\/h2>\n

TVF is the brainchild of Arunabh Kumar, an IIT Kharagpur\u2019s alumnus, who tried but couldn\u2019t sell his ideas for \u2018creating and distributing short humorous videos based on the funny side of day-to-day life\u2019 to several production houses including MTV India.<\/p>\n

He was constantly told \u2018Indian youth doesn\u2019t want to watch this\u2019. So, he was like \u2018Okay, screw it! I\u2019ll prove them wrong.\u2019 And that\u2019s exactly what he did with the help of bunch of fellow IITians, as he went on to create his own and India\u2019s largest online entertainment network \u2013 The Viral Fever Media Labs.<\/p>\n

Today, TVF Media Labs has 5 functioning ventures under it featuring different categories of humorous & drama videos and shows. Their YouTube channel has acquired more than 1 million subscribers in shortest time ever, and thousands of new users are subscribing to it every single day. TVF was also the sole representative from India at the International YouTube Fan Festival, 2013.<\/p>\n

Phew! Alright, moving back to the website<\/p>\n

TVF Play: As Awesome a Website, As Awesome Is TVF<\/h2>\n

The idea behind creating the site was to make the popular TVF web series as easily available to youths as typical TV series, which they barely watch. TVF team approached us with the idea of building a website where youths can easily watch their favorite TVF videos or web series episodes in just a couple of clicks.<\/p>\n

FATbit team undertook the project readily and developed exactly what they were looking for and delivered it just in time before the release of their upcoming web series Pitchers, which will be aired on the site on June 3, 2015 and on their YouTube channel a week later on June 10. So, if you are a fan, you might want to register on the site instead of waiting for an extra week.<\/p>\n
