Launched by The Epic Company on 19 November 2014, a company owned by Anand Mahindra, it airs programmes in Hindi and English. Aditya Pittie, CEO of Pittie Group is the Managing Director of Epic TV.

Some of its programmes like Raja, Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyaan; Kahi Suni; Dharmakshetra; Sanrachana have been added to Netflix. The slogan of the channel is "Soch Se Aage"(means Ahead of Thought).

Their digital platform named Epic ON was launched in early 2017 with most shows available.

The company has revealed a vision of organising and building itself as a media network, with new ventures across every touch-point of the content life-cycle that would consolidate under the banner of IN10 Media.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “indian Infotainment Channel” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18712205. VIAF identifies the subject as 32145857920023021951. The Library of Congress control number is n2018242796. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2017.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
