Discovery Jeet was launched in 12 February 2018 by Discovery Communications India as a Hindi-language entertainment channel by replacing the former Hindi entertainment channel [[Investigation Discovery (Indian TV channel)|Investigation Discovery]].

The company also shifted their headquarters from Delhi to Mumbai which is more suited for building a national general entertainment channel.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.livemint.com/Companies/p3TPPsBFpoMyl9HhgB1w4M/Karan-Bajaj-A-winning-discovery.html|title=Karan Bajaj: A winning discovery|last=Bansal|first=Shuchi|work=Livemint|access-date=2018-02-14}}</ref> It aims to create 1000 hours of original content a year.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jeet had a reach of 140 million on launch day, claims Discovery|url=http://www.televisionpost.com/jeet-had-a-reach-of-140-million-on-launch-day-claims-discovery/|access-date=2018-02-14|website=www.televisionpost.com|language=en-US}}</ref> The shows will also be available digitally via [[Netflix]].<ref name=":0" /> The channel had a reach of 140 million on the day of launch.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Watch Discovery Jeet on Jio TV and Airtel TV|url=https://www.indianable.com/discovery-jeet-channel-number/|access-date=2018-02-15|website=www.indianable.com|language=en-US}}</ref>
