The OTTplay Changemaker Awards 2023 were presented on Sunday night to recognise and honour the pioneers, groundbreakers, and trend-setters in the Indian entertainment sector whose work is widely admired and is igniting a creative revolution. The JW Marriott in Juhu, Mumbai, was the venue of the celebrity-studded event.
The confidence of those talents and brains who are bringing about change in our nation through the medium of films, shows, and more was reinforced by OTTplay with honours such as ground-breaking performers, singers, filmmakers, and more.
