Nickelodeon India was started in 1999 by Viacom International. Later, it was taken over by the newly formed Viacom18 joint venture in 2007.
In 2011, Viacom18 launched a new channel called Sonic[1]. Initially the channel was focused on action and adventure, before switching their focus to comedy in 2016.[2]
