The purpose is to allow an understanding of Business- as-usual profitability for the entity vs the prior period, as well as the trajectory of losses for the new initiative over the first year of its operations. A new initiative gets subsumed into Business-as-usual post this period, though the actual gestation period may be longer (and hence losses may continue beyond these 4 quarters). 9 BROADCASTING All viewership information is basis FY19 BARC data averages in the respective genres before the implementation of the TRAI order in week 5 of 2019 (early Feb-19).
