Iflix, a privately owned company headquartered in Malaysia, was founded in 2014 and maintains an estimated 100 employees. Specializing in media and TV services, the company reported $52.6M in revenue as of 2023 and functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. It operates as an Over-The-Top (OTT) video-on-demand streaming service focusing primarily on emerging markets across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Originally designed to address piracy and low subscription rates in these regions, Iflix offered a freemium model, combining ad-supported free viewing with premium subscriptions at a lower cost than global rivals. Its content strategy centered on hyper-local original productions and licensed local content from over 150 global studios, complemented by partnerships with local telecom companies for distribution. In June 2020, Iflix was acquired by the Chinese technology giant Tencent Holdings. Its content, technology, and resources were subsequently integrated into Tencent’s global streaming platform, WeTV, where the service now operates as WeTV iflix to bolster Tencent's presence in the Southeast Asian market.
