The first video, titled "Chubby Cheeks", received over three hundred thousand views in two weeks. After the video's success, Chandar decided to invest in his channel and convinced his partners Krishnan, Ajith Togo, Subbiramanian and Suresh to join the venture. Late in October 2015, another YouTube channel called ChuChu TV Surprise was launched to cater to kids who are 4-6 years old, which has since received an encouraging response globally with over 2 billion views and 5 million subscribers at present.[9][10] One third of ChuChu TV's views come from the United States and India. ChuChu TV has about 200 employees.[11]
