Discovery India announced plans to revamp the channel in 2018 with new IPs.[6] The revamp began the same day Discovery Jeet launched by removing all existing shows, except for Mister Maker at night and airing ZeeQ's Bandbudh Aur Budbak the whole day.[7]
Later, the channel changed its logo to the current logo. To expand its reach in the South, a Tamil-language audio track was added again and later a Telugu-language audio track on 1 April 2018.[8][9]
The revamp was ultimately completed on 21 April 2018, coinciding with the premiere of Discovery's latest local animation property at time, called Little Singham, based on the original Singham film from 2011. The show launched with 156 episodes and five TV feature films.[10] The English Audio Track was added again in July and was removed on 22 April 2020.[11]Kannada and Malayalam were added on 19 October 2019.
Discovery Kids saw an increase in ratings since the release of Bandbudh Aur Budbak on the channel.[12] The launch of Little Singham helped the channel to achieve second position in the kids genre, with a reach of 24 million and 111 minutes per viewer.[13][14]
The Warner Bros. Discovery India merger was held in mid-July 2022, making both Cartoon Network and Pogo sister channels to Discovery Kids.[15] Following the merger, on 13 November 2022, Discovery Kids stopped airing Little Singham and replaced it with Roll No 21.[16]Little Singham moved to Pogo on 24 December 2022.[17]
