Product Context

MX TakaTak is a short-form video platform launched by Times Internet in India. It allows users to create, share, and watch short videos, typically 15-60 seconds long. The platform competes with other short video apps like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Josh.

Key stakeholders include:

  • Users (creators and viewers)
  • Advertisers
  • Content partners
  • Times Internet management

User flow:

  1. Open app and browse feed
  2. Watch videos, like, comment, share
  3. Create and upload own videos
  4. Discover new creators and trends
