The mobile technology company Fortumo has launched a unique bundling solution for Tata Sky Binge & Amazon Prime. Tata Sky, India’s content distribution platform launched a service for its subscribers - ‘Tata Sky Binge’ a platform that brings digital content from multiple apps on to your TV.

Tata Sky Binge is accessible through the Amazon FireTV Stick – Tata Sky Edition, an exclusive & unique offering that will allow subscribers to stream digital content from across a diverse mix of apps through a single platform and single subscription fee. Prime is the best in shopping and entertainment from Amazon.

Subscribers to Tata Sky Binge will get 3 months of Amazon Prime access courtesy of Tata Sky, which includes unlimited free & fast shipping, unlimited access to movies and TV shows with Prime Video at no additional cost.
