  • 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.

    Volume 11, July 2020 ISSN 2581-5504 “Censorship in OTT Platforms: The Necessity” *Bhagavatula Naga Sai Sriram School of Law, SASTRA University **Sandhiya K. School of Law, SASTRA University Internet and technology have become an inevitable part of our lives and therefore omnipresent. In this fast paced world, each one of us sits in front of an electronic gadget to pass time. The evolution of media and visual entertainment has witnessed a drastic change in the current decade due to the era of digitalization. The whole concept of visual entertainment started with few television channels and now it is easily available and accessible through the mobile phone, personal computers and Smart TVs. This research paper is centred on Over The Top (OTT) platforms which enables visual entertainment through the usage of internet. The current trend stands out to be the use of OTT platforms for which the number of users increases exponentially in our country. With regards to laws related to media and censorship, we are yet to upgrade ourselves to fit in the computerized world. This paper is an attempt to explore the grey area of OTT platforms and its evolution along with possible outcomes and suggestions that can be brought in the aspect of censorship and media laws. Keywords: OTT (Over The Top) and Types, Censorship, Online Content regulation provisions in India. What are OTTs: OTT represents Over-the-top which is a term used to depict visual content (films, videos and original web series) suppliers through web. These services are known as over-the-top since it goes over a traditional cable box to provide a user access to content which otherwise is transmitted through customary medium.
