10
Years
Of
Netflix
In
India:
As
Netflix
marks
10
years
in
India,
the
streaming
giant’s
journey
feels
closely
tied
to
how
Indian
audiences
now
consume
stories.
Over
the
past
decade,
Netflix
has
not
only
brought
global
content
closer
to
viewers
but
has
also
backed
Indian
originals
that
changed
the
OTT
landscape.
From
gritty
crime
dramas
to
heartfelt
coming-of-age
stories,
several
Indian
shows
on
Netflix
have
left
a
lasting
impact.
One
of
the
earliest
and
most
influential
titles
was
Sacred
Games.
The
Vikramaditya
Motwane
and
Anurag
Kashyap-backed
series
set
new
benchmarks
for
scale,
storytelling,
and
performances
on
Indian
OTT.
With
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
leading
the
show,
Sacred
Games
proved
that
long-format
storytelling
could
be
bold,
dark,
and
unapologetically
Indian.
Another
standout
is
Delhi
Crime,
a
series
that
earned
global
recognition,
including
an
International
Emmy
Award.
Based
on
real-life
cases,
the
show,
led
by
Shefali
Shah,
struck
a
chord
for
its
sensitive
yet
powerful
portrayal
of
police
work
and
systemic
realities.
Its
success
reinforced
Netflix’s
focus
on
strong,
content-driven
narratives.
Netflix
also
found
massive
popularity
with
Kota
Factory,
a
relatable
black-and-white
drama
that
captured
the
pressures
of
India’s
coaching
culture.
With
its
honest
writing
and
grounded
performances,
the
show
connected
deeply
with
students
and
parents
alike,
making
it
one
of
the
platform’s
most
loved
Indian
series.
Shows
like
Little
Things
and
Mismatched
brought
a
lighter,
more
youthful
tone
to
Netflix
India’s
catalogue.
While
Little
Things
explored
modern
relationships
with
warmth
and
realism,
Mismatched
tapped
into
Gen
Z
romance
and
ambition,
building
a
loyal
fanbase
over
multiple
seasons.
On
the
thriller
front,
Jamtara:
Sabka
Number
Ayega
stood
out
for
its
gripping
take
on
cybercrime
in
small-town
India,
while
The
Railway
Men
paid
tribute
to
unsung
heroes
during
the
Bhopal
gas
tragedy
with
emotional
depth
and
restraint.
As
Netflix
completes
a
decade
in
India,
these
shows
reflect
how
the
platform
has
evolved-experimenting
with
genres,
amplifying
diverse
voices,
and
reshaping
how
Indian
stories
are
told
and
consumed.
The
journey
so
far
has
been
impactful,
and
the
next
chapter
promises
even
more
ambitious
storytelling
for
Indian
audiences.
