Bongo will be supporting WatchMojo in dubbing all its content in Bangla, making them more accessible to Bengali audiences

WatchMojo, an internationally acclaimed Youtube channel with over 22 million viewers, has partnered with Bongo to launch WatchMojo Bangla on Youtube, Facebook and Bongobd.com.

Bongo will be supporting WatchMojo in dubbing all its content in Bangla to make them available to the 300 million global Bengali-speaking people around the world. 

WatchMojo produces daily "Top Ten" videos, as well as videos summarizing the history of specific niche topics.

These topics cover one of 16 categories -- anime, automotive, business, comedy, education, fashion, film, health and fitness, lifestyle, music, parenting, politics and economy, space and science, sports, technology, travel, and video games.

Fayaz Taher, chief operating officer to Bongo, said, "We are extremely excited to add a new dimension of content to our country. The partnership is a true example of cross border collaboration."

The Bongo studios team will be managing the Bangla dubbed channels as part of the partnership. Recently, Bongo has also been working to export the Bengali content to other parts of the world.

The company has established a subtitling and dubbing team to convert all major movies and classic dramas into various languages, enabling viewers around the world to watch Bangla content. The first few will be done in English and Nepali. 

"We believe content has no barriers. Anyone from anywhere in the globe can enjoy our content. We just have to make it easy to access and enjoy. Exporting content can be a good foreign currency earner for the country -- reducing the heavy dependence on the ready-made garment sector. We must support the local content companies through supportive policies," said BongoBD Co-Founder and Director Navidul Huq.

Bongo Studios is a multi-channel network, which collaborates with creators and advertisers. It works with more than 500 channels, amounting to over 120 million subscribers and over 800 million monthly views.
