Salone Sehgal, Founder and Managing Partner at Lumikai, joined ET Now’s Startup Street to discuss the emergence of micro-dramas in India.

The conversation focused on format innovation, platform dynamics, and the key trade-offs shaping this segment, like content velocity, cost and monetization models.

Key findings from our thesis:

  • Viewers expect consistent output, often 1 new series every few weeks with 1–3 minute episodes

  • Production cycles are short but intensive, typically spanning 4–6 days for the shoot of every series

  • Platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou dominate thanks to distribution scale, not just content quality with heavy spends on user acquisition

  • Creative innovation and content is not enough, solid business economics are fundamental for sustainable growth

I saw the daman game download option on different websites, but I’m not sure which one is the correct source. Is there any official way to confirm the genuine version before installing? I’m asking because sometimes wrong files can create issues on mobile devices.
