Iflix, also known as WeTV iflix, is a privately owned company headquartered in Malaysia. Founded in 2014, the company has approximately 100 employees and reported $53.1M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, Iflix specializes in media and TV services, operating as a free and subscription-based over-the-top (OTT) video-on-demand streaming service originally engineered by Mark Britt and Patrick Grove’s Catcha Group as a hyper-local entertainment alternative specifically targeting mobile-first consumers in emerging global markets across Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Following monetization and capitalization challenges, the company was acquired by the Chinese multinational technology conglomerate Tencent in June 2020. Operating as a consolidated division within Tencent Video’s regional network, the service utilizes a freemium dual-revenue model supported by premium subscription tiers (iflix VIP) and programmatic in-video digital advertising. Its current platform acts as a digital hosting network focused predominantly on East Asian and regional content, including Chinese mainland dramas, anime, and localized romantic series.
