“It feels emotional. 7 years, and we feel we are just getting started in the league. Our aim has always been to cherish the best works in the country, that go unseen and uncelebrated. We at IWMBuzz quest to recognise the ground work that happens behind the curtains, we celebrate the unsung, and put them on the pedestal so they get seen. With season 7, it’s again a toast to the bests in the country,” says Siddhartha Laik, founder & editor-in-chief of IWMBuzz. 

Sukhpreet Singh, Chief Revenue Officer, Dish TV India, said, “At Watcho, we’ve always believed in creating space for stories that are unique, voices that are fresh, and creators who are passionate about their craft. That’s exactly what this platform represents — a celebration of the diversity and talent that defines today’s digital content ecosystem. Whether it's original series, short-format storytelling, or regional and global content like Korean dramas, our goal has always been to bring something relevant and refreshing to audiences. Presenting IWMBuzz Digital Awards is a perfect extension of that vision. It’s not just about recognition—it’s about nurturing a creative community that’s growing stronger each year. We’re excited to be a part of this journey and hope it inspires creators to keep experimenting, pushing boundaries, and telling stories that truly connect.”
