The overall scheme is similar to Reliance Jio’s. The rival telecom operator gives away free access to its apps with most of its plans. This could be Airtel’s attempt to retain customers eager to hop on board its competitors train based on the number of freebies given away on a regular basis.

Other than free access to a wide range of content, the Airtel TV app also features a number of UI refreshes. Anyone using the app can seek out content via smart search filters covering languages, genres, ratings, and even the above mentioned content partners.
