In a milestone that is making waves in both the technology and entertainment worlds, Oncemore.io — an emerging AI-powered entertainment platform — has shattered records by amassing one million registered users and 1.9 million unique visitors across 60 countries within just 42 hours of its debut. The milestone eclipses prior benchmarks set by breakout digital platforms such as ChatGPT, which took five days to reach the same user volume. The staggering speed of adoption underlines a growing appetite for immersive, interactive fan experiences that transcend the limits of conventional social and content platforms.

The driving force behind Oncemore.io’s unprecedented traction is its launch collaboration with the Telugu film They Call Him OG, starring celebrated actor Pawan Kalyan. To promote the film, Oncemore.io crafted a digital experience that invited fans into the film’s universe through a series of movie-themed games and challenges. As participants collectively attained target scores, the platform unlocked an exclusive digital comic book — a narrative prequel to the film’s storyline. Every fan who took part received a personalized digital card marking their role in the experience, a feature that sparked organic social sharing and extended the reach even further.
Select participants were further rewarded with signed physical copies of the comic by the film’s director, adding a tangible layer of prestige to the experience.At the heart of Oncemore.io’s appeal is its departure from passive, algorithm-driven content feeds that dominate mainstream social media. Instead, the platform offers entertainment brands their own dedicated digital space designed for curated content and interactive experiences. For film studios, music icons, and sports franchises, these spaces can host games, reward-based challenges, and dynamic content that adapts to audience participation in real time. This model taps directly into shifting consumer behavior, reflecting the modern audience’s desire for deeper engagement, shared community milestones, and emotional investment in the entertainment they choose to support.Even before the launch, Oncemore.io closed a pre-seed funding round ahead of launch, led by Unshackled Ventures alongside Cherubic Ventures, TA Ventures, Sketchnote Venture Partners, and a roster of angel investors. The backing signals investor confidence in the platform’s ambition to redefine the relationship between entertainment brands and their audiences. Founder Akash Mamidi — a Stanford Computer Science graduate hailing from Vijayawada — has imbued the platform’s foundation with sharp technical expertise and a global perspective, positioning Oncemore.io at the intersection of entertainment innovation and advanced technology deployment.

Conversations are already underway with multiple entertainment brands. An alliance with another highly anticipated Indian film is secured for an early 2026 rollout, with plans to broaden the platform’s suite of AI-powered features. These include interactive digital characters and environments capable of dynamically responding to user actions, ensuring that every fan’s journey is tailored and immersive.

To amplify this capability, Oncemore.io is building plug-and-play, AI-driven tools for entertainment partners, enabling rapid creation and deployment of interactive experiences that might otherwise require weeks or months to develop. With scalability and security handled by the platform, it aspires to become the trusted backbone for studios, artists, and sports teams aiming to cultivate lasting connections with their audiences.

Oncemore.io’s explosive debut is more than a headline — it reflects a pivotal evolution in audience expectations. With its AI-first vision and commitment to deepening fan relationships, Oncemore.io stands poised to become a central player in shaping the future of global fan culture — where technology and human connection converge to create experiences that audiences truly cherish.
