The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

company and giving one brush free with every 20 kg of their

13. » The challenge is to increase availability of ABC Brushes in every pain shop /
hardware shop.
» Distribution can be expanded by CO-Marketing ABC Brush sales along with
other company and sharing a percentage with them.
» For E.g MC Thinner company can be approached to sell ABC Brushes
through their sales team and any sales happening a 5% commission will be
given. There is no investment of MC Thinner company in stocks, in credit etc.
Sales Executives of MC Thinner will book orders and pass on the same to
ABC Brush company and ABC will deliver and collect money on its own if
sales is within Hyd and nearby areas.
» For Up country sales MC thinner executive will collect and remit money to
bank a/c directly.
» The Sales Executive of MC Thinner will be paid a fixed travel / DA allowance
of Rs.5000/- per month and a commission of 1 % on sales and 2% on
collections. One executive will cover at least 50 shops and sell Rs.5 Lacs
worth of brushes.

will have more work to do cover more area and develop rapport with more

14. » The challenge is to increase availability of ABC Brushes in
every pain shop / hardware shop.
» Distribution can be expanded by selling to Wholesalers.
» Wholesalers typically buy large quantities at a very low price
and distribute it to smaller retailers on cash or credit.
» Wholesalers help manufacturers to reach those small retailers
who are in remote location / buy small quantities / credit
history is bad / are unknown.
» Wholesalers have to be dealt with by the Owner directly as
margins / delivery schedules are very tight. The quality
commitments have to be made by owner of ABC company /
Payal Enterprises. Incase of Bad quality they should directly
deal with wholesalers. Also regarding payment terms only
owners can take decisions.
» The trick is to not depend on one wholesaler always and keep
changing the wholesaler frequently to ensure the product
moves to newer counters every month.

15. » The challenge is to increase sales without increasing
credit. Collect credit faster and rotate money quickly.
» Each shop can buy brushes normally as per present
procedure. As soon as a shop makes a payment of
2000/- in one installment or 2-3 installments he gets
a scratch card. As he scratches the card he gets a gift
printed on the card.
» The dealer will be worried that if he does not pay
quickly he will loose the high price scratch card. He
cannot blame anyone as he can choose any card
from the bunch the collection boy is having.
