Alexander Babu spent over a decade as a software engineer at Amazon before walking away at 40 to do stand-up comedy full time. His work — Tamil language, live music, sharp cultural observation — had already earned him a devoted following across Chennai, Singapore, Dubai, the US, the UK, and Australia. He'd produced a special for Amazon Prime. He'd toured continents. What he didn't have was a home for his work that he actually owned.
General streaming platforms are built for volume. They're not built for a Tamil comedian whose audience is spread across a dozen countries and whose content doesn't fit any standard category. Babu understood this better than most — he'd worked on the other side of that wall. So he built Anba TV. Go-BOSS powered it.
"He didn't want a bigger platform. He wanted his own."
The model reflects exactly what his audience needed. Fans buy access to a title once and own it permanently — no recurring subscription, no expiry date. A curated portion of the library stays free, giving first-time visitors something to watch before they commit. The two tiers coexist without competing: one for discovery, one for devotion.
Go-BOSS built a community directly into the platform alongside it. Fans post, share reactions, and talk through what they're watching in a space that belongs to the same platform as the content itself — not scattered across social feeds and comment sections on someone else's app. For a performer whose comedy has always been about the conversation in the room, having that room on his own platform is the point.
"Free content for the curious. Paid content for the fans. A community for everyone."
Anba TV runs on iOS, Android, Android TV, and Fire TV — every screen a global audience might reach for. Babu spent years building products for one of the world's largest platforms. He knew exactly what it would take to build a better one for his audience.
