TVF

The Viral Fever, commonly abbreviated TVF, is an Indian digital media company and content creator known for producing web series, sketches, and other online entertainment. It creates original programming for YouTube and its own streaming platforms and has been influential in the growth of Indian online media aimed at young urban audiences.

The company began as a digital content venture in the early 2010s, founded by Arunabh Kumar in Mumbai. It gained prominence with web series such as Permanent Roommates (2014) and TVF Pitchers (2015), and expanded into multiple formats and platforms, including TVFPlay, its own streaming service, and various distribution deals. It later released Kota Factory (2019), a show about engineering coaching that further elevated its profile.

TVF's output spans comedy, drama, and coming-of-age stories, often centered on college students and young professionals. It is credited with shaping the Indian web-series landscape and helping launches for many actors, writers, and creators, while inspiring a broader ecosystem of independent digital content in India.

The company operates a revenue model based on advertisements, brand partnerships, and licensing agreements, with in-house production complemented by collaborations with external studios. It maintains production offices in Mumbai and a network of creators and freelancers.

In 2017, TVF faced allegations of sexual harassment from former employees, leading to investigations, leadership changes, and reforms in HR policies and governance meant to address workplace culture and safety.
