Bengaluru, February 5, 2025: Josh, India’s fastest-growing short video platform, introduces DreamCall, an innovative live voice-based social feature that transforms how users connect and interact with broadcasters. This launch marks a significant milestone in Josh’s mission to build immersive social experiences for its diverse user base.

 DreamCall enables real-time voice conversations with broadcasters, allowing users to build authentic connections through personalised one-on-one interactions. The hosts create a comforting space for free-flowing conversations, from heartfelt stories and personal dreams to light-hearted banter and deep self-reflection. These interactions uplift, connect, and combat loneliness with warmth and understanding. With active broadcasters, the feature supports multiple languages and diverse interest categories, spanning astrology, fashion, fitness, entertainment, and lifestyle. It operates through Josh’s in-app currency system, Jems, offering a seamless pay-per-minute model that rewards broadcasters while providing value to users.

 Since its soft launch, DreamCall has achieved remarkable success, with over 350 active multilingual broadcasters, including 10% TTMK hosts, bringing their unique perspectives and expertise to the platform. The feature has already facilitated over 75,000 successful calls, totaling over 2,000 hours of calling, with an impressive 25% repeat caller rate. Supporting these conversations is a comprehensive quality monitoring system that ensures all interactions remain safe and enjoyable. Additionally, the platform features a gifting mechanism allowing users to send virtual gifts during calls, creating more rewarding and memorable experiences for broadcasters and users.

 Sunder Venketraman, Chief Business Officer – Content & Live Ecosystem, Josh, said, “DreamCall represents a significant leap forward in our mission to create immersive and meaningful social experiences for our users.
