  • INDIAN OTT LANDSCAPE a Survey Report by Vidooly
    INDIAN OTT LANDSCAPE A Survey Report by Vidooly Video Intelligence & Cross Platform Analytics Software INTRODUCTION The increasing popularity of OTT Platforms in India is no more a secret. While Hotstar, Netflix and Amazon Prime have become established names in the industry, we also have new entrants such as AppleTV+ and Flipkart Videos marking their debut. With 30+ platforms competing to build a subscriber base, they are experimenting with newer way to please their audience. With the help of big data, platforms are devising ways of personalizing their user experience. Innovations such as voice tags, augmented and virtual reality, 360 degree viewing and blockchain technology are also getting intensely explored. The pace at which the industry is transforming, makes it indispensable for the platforms to evolve continuously. Other than recognizing consumer’s changing preferences and their need of personalized experiences, brands also realize their price-sensitive nature. This has led to the provision of multiple screens and introduction of cheaper subscription plans by these platforms in order to fit consumers’ pockets. Undisrupted 4G connectivity has played a major role in enabling the online content consumption, that too, at viewers’ ease. Not only has it made internet accessible but also affordable, thus driving the user-spends towards other means of entertainment - in this case – Video-on-Demand Platforms. The penetration of internet in rural areas has also soared, resulting in a higher demand of regional content on these platforms. There’s no second guessing in the fact that the OTT industry is going to be the face of Media & Entertainment Industry in the coming years.
