THE INDIA WATCH REPORT 2018
VIDEO AND THE CHANGING FACE OF THE INTERNET IN INDIA
It has been three years since we launched Hotstar. In more ways than one, the world has changed dramatically in those three years. And, at Hotstar, we have had the privilege of leading and shaping much of this change.
A new generation of users are emerging in India who take for granted round the clock access to the best stories; who know that they can watch the best shows from around the world at the same time as the world (and sometimes way ahead of most of the world); who do not worry about being forced to skip their team’s weekend football games because they are not at home in front of their television; and who have the implicit faith that all breaking news will reach them without any effort on their part.
It is an exciting time for marketers too. In an era where new consumer habits are being formed, these leaders have exciting vistas to build their brands, more opportunities to tango with engaged consumers and with more consciousness and understanding of their customers than ever before.
But the biggest change has been how consumers are responding to the explosion in access to affordable data. Three years ago, most new data users would start with messaging, do text search, move on to social platforms and a few brave ones would watch video on the mobile network. This pyramid has been completely inverted. In a world that does not fear data charges, video is very o�en the first port of call for new data users. Familiar stories, whether TV shows, movies or sports, unconstrained by any language limitation, are acting as powerful triggers to light up their smartphones and their data connections.
This is the world we are excited to shape. We believe the appetite for stories offers a dramatic new opportunity to leverage Hotstar to transform storytelling and bring a billion people online in India. That is our mission.
In the context of that mission, we believe that we have the responsibility to share with the world – the users who follow these stories, the creators who are imagining the next story, the technologists who are shaping new experiences and marketers who are cra�ing exciting brands – what we are learning in these early years of an exciting transformation.
This report, the first India Watch Report 2018, details the exciting new world that we are cra�ing together.
