What is Odanta? ๐Ÿช

Odanta is a platform to create, distribute and monetise content. Our USP is empowering Indian creators to create a community that they can earn from, while allowing users to discover and support real people whose work they follow.

Almost 70% of young India trusts their favourite creator over advertisements from brands. The pandemic has solidified our need for personal connections. Yet only the top 2% of creators earn enough to sustain themselves. So we decided to create a Made-in-India product for creators to earn money for all the value they bring us.

Tech has always been used to solve human problems. This is our contribution to it.

Do I own what I create on Odanta? ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Yes. Everything you upload/create on Odanta is yours. You can shut down your account anytime and take your content offline.

How can I support my favourite creator? ๐Ÿ‰

  • You can support a creator by purchasing their monthly or annual subscription. This will give you access to all their exclusive content for the period of subscription.
  • You can support a creator by donating a particular amount, which goes straight to their account. This doesn't grant you exclusive perks.
  • You can also directly purchase a course or a video if you don't feel like subscribing to them for a month. This gives you lifetime access to only that piece of content.

Does Odanta charge creators a fee? ๐Ÿšซ

Odanta is completely free to use. We do not charge creators anything until they make money. After that, we take a small 7% cut (including payment gateway charges) from every subscription you receive. This allows us to keep developing these awesome features for you.

How do I get paid? ๐Ÿ’ธ

Withdrawals are only possible if you've enabled Payouts on your Creator Page. Only then can we transfer earnings to you. Our standard practice is to transfer your monthly earnings on the last day of the month directly to your back account. You do not have to do anything as this is an automatic process.

But if you do want to exercise this option on any day, just click on the withdrawal request button present on your Creator Page to receive your earnings immediately. Do note that it can up to take 24 hours post your request for the amount to be deposited in your account.

You can write to us at contact@odanta.in if you have any questions.

Can I get a refund from a Subscription? ๐Ÿ’ณ

Odanta is just a platform that facilitates transactions between a follower and a creator. Only the creator can choose to give back an amount they have received.

What are Curations? ๐Ÿฟ

The Curations page allows you to find recommendations from your friends, your co-workers, and most importantly, film experts. If you do follow creators like That Music Project or Humans of Cinema on Instagram, now they are on Odanta too!

What is FreeFlow? ๐ŸŒŠ

FreeFlow is a tool that enables discovery. We have revolutionised the search bar by adding features that mimic the way a human brain works. If someone wants to watch movies where there is a great plot twist at the end, or underrated Spanish movies, or even movies with their favourite hero, all they have to do is just ask.

But most importantly, FreeFlow can understand human emotions. If you ask it โ€œMovies for when I am sadโ€ or โ€œMovies when I don't want to adultโ€ it will understand what the person is talking about and give personalised results. This is the first application of this technology in all of India.

I found a movie to watch. But where do I stream it? ๐Ÿ“บ

Odanta is one of the very few platforms where you can find out where each movie is streaming. For example, Spider-Man No Way Home is streaming on Netflix at the moment, but if it is available on another streaming service, then it will reflect that on the movie page.

What does Odanta use data for?๐Ÿ”’

We are a tech company that understands your privacy. It is a terrifying thought that someone can easily sell your data or release it to third parties. So let us be clear.

We only use your data to make our algorithm better. To make sure you receive better suggestions. The more you interact with Odanta, it gets better in its sole purpose of making your life easier. We never use your data for anything else, and it is encrypted even for us to access.
