The brand new TechStorm Originals time belt proudly features a series of Asian start-up stories, complete with behind-the-scenes narratives and exclusive interviews with Asia’s unicorns, dark horses and business titans. Inspiring viewers to play more and live more, it also delves deep into human stories of movers and shakers driving Asia’s esports scene, celebrating unsung heroes, hidden talents and their journey to stardom while highlighting the latest game reviews.

“Our millennial and Gen Z viewers have spoken and we want to respond to an overwhelming demand for more Asian-centric stories, which have found a groundswell of support in our growing audience. By launching a time belt dedicated to championing the diversity of Asian representatives in the tech, esports and start-up ecosystem, we are positive the new pan-Asian titles will successfully secure an even bigger fan base internationally,” comments Debbie Lee, Founder and CEO of TechStorm.

Viewers can also expect a broad spectrum of light-hearted entertainment across popular, trending subjects, such as the latest gadgets, tech innovations and new app reviews. In addition, the network seeks to be the up and coming go-to source for compelling pop culture content, showcasing icons across the music, sport and design industries who are well followed by millennials and Gen Zs.

Also, TechStorm has launched additional localisation with Bahasa Indonesia subtitles starting May, well in time for the Eid al-Fitr, Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive period. This is in addition to its existing localisation choices of Thai, Traditional Chinese and English subtitles across its 24/7 channel and VOD catalogue for OTT partner platforms.
