New Delhi — In a shocking development, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, has met the Prime Minister of India, apparently to petition for Netflix to be declared as India’s national streaming service.
Netflix, the New National Digital Identity?
After enjoying a hearty cup of masala chai and indulging in spicy samosa talks with the PM, Sarandos was spotted pulling out a fat wad of 50 notes of… Netflix subscription cards? Rumor has it that Sarandos is proposing Netflix as the new National Streaming Service of India, claiming that “in Netflix, we trust” should replace traditional national slogans. India, after all, takes its binge-watching seriously.
Social Media Erupts with “National Streaming” Memes
Not surprisingly, the Internet is awash with memes and reactions to this bizarre meeting. An unnamed majority of the country’s millennial population has taken Twitter by storm, demanding their right to free Netflix access. Meanwhile, the older generation is left scratching their heads, wondering when Doordarshan stopped being the national channel. The Government, seemingly overwhelmed between managing COVID and explaining internet streaming to puzzled elders, has deployed an army of IT interns to deal with the situation.

“I thought it was Shah Rukh Khan,” stated Ramesh, a chaiwala on Janpath road, mistaking Sarandos for the Bollywood superstar due to the overwhelming crowd and curiosity. It is yet to be understood how a meeting with the PM could snowball into a Bollywood sighting, but in vibrant India, anything’s possible, especially if it involves entertainment and masala chai.
