Ajay Bijli founded PVR Cinemas in India in 1995, bringing the first multiplex cinema concept to the country. PVR introduced innovations like online and mobile ticketing, visual seat selection maps, and luxury food and beverage service within theaters. The company targeted both metro and non-metro audiences across India with multiple brands. PVR saw strong financial growth over its first decade and received several awards for its success and leadership in the cinema industry. While facing increasing competition from chains like INOX and Adlabs, PVR plans to expand further through collaborations, new technologies, and potentially producing its own films. A SWOT analysis finds PVR's strengths in its film distribution business and first mover advantage
