Join hosts Jitesh and Arpit alongside Darrel Chua, who helped build KrisWorld & start the IFE revolution at Singapore Airlines.

Going back to the 1990s, Darrel takes us behind the curtains of the industry he helped define. Discover the absolute amazing and crazy things that happened during the birth of modern IFE.

Hear insider stories about:

• The creation of KrisWorld and the massive investment that it required.

• Developing the first generation of fully digital Audio Video On Demand (AVOD 1.0), requiring intense R&D and convincing a wary Hollywood about digital encryption and early window content

• Technical challenges needed to move from proprietary software (like Windows 3.1) to Linux open source.

• How a fatal Swiss Air 111 crash related to an IFE system forced massive changes in electrical power consumption and certification across the industry

From analog video tapes and x386 computers running Windows 3.1 to today’s digital streaming, this is a fascinating deep dive into the engineering, politics, and incredible innovation that changed the way we fly.
