Helo, India’s leading social media platform, recently announced its partnership with South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) as its official social media partner. It’ll give Helo users access to live updates from the awards ceremony which will be held on 15th and 16th August in Qatar, Doha.

Helo continues to partner with the region’s biggest entertainment properties to bring Helo users closer to their favourite stars by sharing event highlights, exciting live moments from the red carpet and exclusive backstage content in 14 Indian languages.
