US-based content streaming platform Netflix on Friday said it will host 'StreamFest' in India on December 5-6 that will allow non-subscribers to experience the service for free. "At Netflix, we want to bring the most amazing stories from across the world to all fans of entertainment in India. It's why we're hosting StreamFest: an entire weekend (December 5 12.01am-December 6 11.59pm) — of free Netflix," Netflix India Vice President (Content) Monika Shergill said in a blogpost. Last year, Netflix had piloted and then launched a mobile phone-only plan in India -- a first for the company globally. A premium player, Netflix started its operations in India in 2016, and has introduced a number of Indian shows on its platform.
