As India's appetite for digital streaming continues to reshape how households consume entertainment, Amazon has introduced its Fire TV Stick 4K — a device that quietly embodies the broader migration away from cable and toward on-demand living. Priced at Rs. 5,999 and arriving with 4K resolution, Wi-Fi 6, and a remote designed around habit, it is less a gadget than a small wager on where the living room is headed. The launch, timed for sales beginning May 13, places Amazon squarely in a market where the television set is becoming a portal rather than a destination.
