TukTuki

TukTuki is an Indian micro-drama app that serves one-hour stories as vertical episodes of one to three minutes, free with ads or on a paid ad-free plan. It is led by founder Anshita Kulshrestha and makes Hindi-language original series and, since mid-2026, AI-assisted films.

Coverage from November 2025 says the app passed 100,000 downloads within weeks of launching, and a June 2026 release said it had crossed 1 million downloads. Its original series Maidame is reported to have won a Screenxx Award for Best Content in Short Form (Fiction). Kulshrestha has said it releases roughly 25 titles a month and that about 80% of its micro-drama viewers are young people.

On 15 August 2026 it released Salaam India, an AI-powered patriotic spy micro-drama that Kulshrestha called its third AI-driven project in 90 days. She describes AI as a co-pilot to human creativity, used in pre-production, localisation and versioning, while real actors and human writers carry genres such as regional folklore and mythology. No AI tools or vendors are named in the coverage read.
