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.

in Gurney Drive, a tourism place. On the other hand in Klang Valley, Selangor, we
chose Sin Hup Heng local product which is located at Jalan Meru. After completing the
comparison and analysis report, we found out that Tean Ean Local Product shop is
more attractive and a commercially successful business compare to Klang Valley Sin
Hup Heng local product shop.

5. 5
i. What was their motives for starting up the business?
At first the owner actually thought of selling cars. After a few thoughts he decided to set
up their own pastry business. Since he was so eager to learn how to make it, he
decided to hire chef to teach him the way. At first most of the ingredients needed to
make it are bought from others but now he is able to apply the knowledge he has learnt
to good use by making it out himself.
ii. Their recent development:
Tean Ean has recently reached its target of making a total profit of Rm 2 million in 2012
with the help of modern machineries that have helped to speed up the production
processes. It also goes to its Open Kitchen Concept. It is to reveal to the customers that
no preservatives are used and that orders are freshly made for deliveries. This has
resulted in Tean Ean coming leap and bounds that includes expanding its concept to
Kuala Lumpur and Johor.

6. 6

learn the necessary skills needed to make traditional Chinese pastries.
7. Their recent developments:
Sin Hup Heng was able to employ better machineries from the substantial amount of
money made available to them.
7. 7
Comparative Analysis of the Businesses’
Competitive Traits
Number of competitors:
Tean Ean Local Products
In Penang, there are at least 36 Bakeries and Pastry shops found. However, specifically
there are around 22 competitors located at George Town in the market. But there is one
notable rivalry between Tean Ean Local Products and Ghee Hiang.
Sin Hup Heng
Initially in the Klang Valley, there used to be around 30 Bakeries and Pastry shops. But
since then it has been reduced to just a mere 3 competitors. According to the shop
owner, this is because the younger generations do not want to continue the biscuit
businesses because it is very tough, tiring and competitive.
The market share of the business:
Tean Ean Local Products
Unfortunately they did not disclose it out to us and we respect their privacy.
Sin Hup Heng
The money it has earned is able to support the business but it all depends on the
customers on any given situation as it is their decision that depends whether a business
will succeed or fails.
8. 8
Brief bios of each business’ top competitor/s:
Tean Ean Local Products
The rival business that is currently competing with them is Ghee Hiang. Ghee
Hiang was originated from the Fujian Province, China Since 1856 but has since become
an integral part of Penang, Malaysia with its colourful heritage and mesmerizing
traditions. The shop is famous for its Tau Sar Pneah biscuits (green bean pastry) and
sesame oil.
At 155 years old, it is one of the oldest bakeries around and a box of one of their
traditional handmade Chinese biscuits or a bottle of their traditional sesame oil will
make a great souvenir. Ghee Hiang themselves have four main branches that are
located at Burmah Road, Beach Street, Sunshine Farlim, Lot 10, Hutong Village, KL
and their Headquarters at Macalister Road.
Sin Hup Heng
Lian Bee Confectionery Sdn Bhd
Founded in 1963, Bee's has come a long way striving for sustainable
improvement and unparalleled excellence in the bakery business. Starting from a
humble family-based venture, the company has successfully carved a niche in their own
right with sheer grit and determination spanning four generations. Lian Bee mainly sells
moon cakes and pastries. In total, Lian Bee has three branches under its name.
9. 9
Strategies employed against their competitors:
Tean Ean Local Products
Tean Ean would attract the customers to buy their products by giving out
promotions and discounts that will appeal in the eyes of customers.
The shop also encourages all their staff members to treat each and every
customer politely as it is seen as an important component by Tean Ean when
competing against its main rival, Ghee Hiang.
The shop always ensures that the products are made of the highest quality to
retain the faith of the customers placed on us.
Sin Hup Heng
One of the main policy followed by Sin Hup Heng is to ensure that their products
be freshly baked and hygienic.
The shop also encourages its employees to have a set of skills under their belt
so to be able to make more quality pastries which will give them the upper hand
against their competitors.
Obstacles faced by new businesses when
entering the market:
Tean Ean Local Products
Initially Tean Ean did encounter a lot of challenges. At that moment, Tau Sar
Pneah was needed to supply to them due to lack of workers. But afterwards the supplier
stopped supplying Tau Sar Pneuh to them as poor economic takes its toll resulting in an
overall poor performance. So within this short time, Tean Ean was determined to find as
many workers as they could, so they are able to make Tau Sar Pneah of their own to
counteract this problem. From the experience of Tean Ean, we can conclude that a
pastry shop must also be flexible when coming up with new innovative ideas to solve
their pricing, pastries, capital and many more. And look how far it has taken Tean Ean
who are now fully depended on itself without ever relying on suppliers to supply them
the goods.
10. 10
Sin Hup Heng
According to the owner, it is easy to compete in this market even though there
are other businesses as long as you are hardworking and motivated to keep running the
business. Upon hearing this to those new pastry shops they must never give up until the
end if you are hardworking and the urge to drive their business forward.
Other than that, capital must also be priority as well so for you to be able to get
your hands on the necessary ingredients and the required machineries needed in
making your pastries.
Nature of market & Justifications:
Tean Ean Local Products
The Bakeries and Pastry market along the George Town, Penang has Monopolistic
Competition. In a market with Monopolistic Competition, we can witness the following:
1. A market place of not more than 100 firms
2. Weak barriers to entry
3. Weak pricing power
4. Selling differentiated products to make them stand-out against their competitors
Below are some of its proofs to show this type of market has such characteristics:
Tean Ean Local Products is currently located alongside 22 others bakeries and
pastry shops at George Town, Penang. This shows that there are many firms in
the geographical market and it is easier for newer firms to enter.
The market also sells different types of pastries, each having their own
uniqueness in order to compete against their main competitors. For an example
firms like Tean Ean also sell other products that are originated from other states
in Malaysia besides just selling their well-known Bah Kut Teh and Tau Sar Pneuh
Pastries.
Lastly, in market area, you will be able to witness the varieties of advertisement
set up as a way to attract more customers and to avoid losing out to its main
competitors. As for Tean Ean, they have successfully complement the “Open
Kitchen” concept by giving the customers the chance to learn how to Pau Sar
Pneuh on the spot for just Rm 15. The “Open Kitchen” concept is actually to
reveal to customers that no preservatives are used and that they are freshly
11. 11
made for delivery. This is in fact one of the strategies implanted by Tean Ean
towards their customers for them to still keep their faith in them.
Sin Hup Heng
The Bakeries and Pastry market along the Klang Valley has Oligopoly Competition.
In a market with Oligopoly Competition, we can witness the following:
1. A few sellers in the market
2. Protected by strong barriers to entry
3. Strong Pricing power
4. Mutual dependence between the oligopoly firms
5. Products sold either as standardized or differentiated
Below are some of its proofs to show this type of market has such characteristics:
Sin Hup Heng is currently located alongside 3 other bakeries and pastry shops at
Klang Valley. This shows that there are a few firms in the geographical market
making it harder for other new firms to enter.
The market also sells one type of product or a few types of products. In the case
of Sin Hup Heng, it sells up to 6 to 7 types of products to accommodate their
main product, Beh The Sor pastry.
Finally there will be a sense of mutual dependence between the oligopoly firms in
the market area. Since there are only a total of four shops still in operation, each
shops will be waiting in the wings ready to pounce if one of them make a move.
So Sin Hup Heng is doing things step by step, considering which one is the best
move overall to avoid a price war.

businesses. Although they may be different, but their targets, goals, passions and
efforts are still pointing towards the same direction, which is success. We want to be

outlets soon!

Recommendation
Sin Hup Heng Local Product
The local products sold in Sin Hup Heng are not of varieties as they never tend to
produce any new products onwards. On the other hand, the world is changing
every time and they still stick to their traditional belief. They should be more
creative towards their own products and try to produce many more new type of
product. Malaysia is a multicultural country so we can be expected to find many
different types of local product. They have a very few differentiated product
exclusively for the local product shop and also the products they produce focuses
too much on the traditional Chinese pastries. There should have plenty types of
traditional pastries for different culture to enjoy such as Malay and Indian. They
should learn and explore those types of pastries and in the meanwhile they can
also review the concept of 1 Malaysia.
The shop lot was built since 1994. The Sin Hup Heng shop looks old and it has
not been repainted for a very long time. On the other hand the shop is located
beside the roadside. This will cause the shop to look unhygienic which will affect
the decision of customers when considering buying their products. Besides that,
there is a nearby public bank around the location of the shop which causes
limited parking spaces and that is also the main reason why customers are
driven away from the shop. Our recommendation is that they should shift out to
other new shop lots which have more parking spaces for the convenient of
customers. In addition, they also can have a renovation towards their shop which
will make the old shop looks clean and tidy so that customers will be attracted to
buy their products.

Tean Ean should take this opportunity to set up a few branches as the barrier to
entry in this monopolistic competition is easy. So this will help them eventually to
be an internationally well-known pastry shop around the world making George
Town a favorite tourist place to go and visit. In addition it will help them to hold
the advantage when going up against it main rival, Ghee Hiang since they
themselves also have a couple of branches. This is to attract new customers as
well give them the convenience of reaching one of its nearest destination just to
buy its products.
Tean Ean should also try to advertise a lot through IT technologies to
complement their official Facebook website. This will result in a wider scope of
Tean Ean getting promoted to the rest of Malaysia.

Interview Questions: Sin Hup Heng (Klang Valley,
Selangor)
1. When was the business founded?
In 1974, I started my biscuit business with just a small stall. After that, made a
lot of profit and then shifted to a shop lot until now. The total years of my biscuit
business is around 40 years.
2. Who founded it?
I, Mr Lee, was the founder. I started to learn making traditional biscuits since I
was just a small kid.
3. What are your main products/services or signature dishes? How
about the pricing and menu?
We sell Biscuit Beh The Sor, which is our signature product that costs around
RM 8 per box.
4. Who are your customers?
Our customers are usually residents and tourists in Klang.
5. How have the business been doing for the past few years (by
comparing its estimate annual revenue figure)?
For the past 20 years, the business has been very good, but currently, the young
generations do not like traditional biscuits. As a result, this biscuit business has
been dropped.
6. How many branches or stores do you have (If applicable)? What
is the location, number of staffs and management of staffs?
We have only got an old shop. The address is 114, Jalan Pekan Baru, Kawasan
17, Jalan Meru, 41050 Klang, Selangor There are ten plus workers in our small
shop. Our contact number is 03-33444854.
7. Can you provide us a brief history of your business and its most
recent developments?
17. 17
Our business has been running for more than 40 years, 20 years ago, we shifted
our stall to a shop lot. When I was small, my family did not have money to send
me to school and I was also lazy to study. One day, my father told me that I
would grow up to become an adult one day and would also marry a woman. At
this moment, I should be more responsible to your family. He said that if I did not
have a chance to study, I must at least learn a skill. Then, I started to learn
making traditional Chinese biscuits. When I started this business, my father gave
me his one and only property to me, which was a coconut tree, but I continued
with the biscuits business until now.
8. Do you have any rival businesses? Who are they?
Yes, we do. Last time, we had a lot of competitors, around 30. However, we are
now left with only three competitors in Klang Valley that are still running their
biscuit businesses. Some biscuit shops have enlarged their businesses and have
a lot of shareholders. Unfortunately, they have been competing with each other
day by day just because of money. For some shops, their young generations do
not want to continue their biscuit businesses because it is very tough, tiring and
competitive.
9. Is the business constantly facing strong competition from other
competitors? What strategies do they used to compete against
you?
No, this is because as time is moving on, more biscuit businesses will be ended
and causes lesser competitions. As a result, our business will not be affected by
strong competitors.
10. How big is your market share (market’s total sales) as well
as your top competitors?
Our business can make a lot money but it is very tough. Honestly, it totally
depends on the customers. Occasionally, we have a lot of customers and vice
versa, when there aren’t any holidays. However, if you run a business with
passion and effort, you can afford to buy a Toyota Camry and also a moderate
house, like semi D and it is never going to be a problem, just like me.
11. Do you think it is easy to enter in this market? Why?
It is easy to compete in this market even though there are other businesses as
long as you are hardworking and determined to run the business. If you are lazy
18. 18
to work, although you have got tones of resources and money, one day, you will
also fail and eventually, you will face bankruptcy.
12. What are the challenges faced in setting up this business?
Last time, when we had a business to run, everyone just cared about friendships
between businesses. When I first started my business, I borrowed money from
my friends. When I bought the ingredients, such as flour, margarine and so on, I
did not need pay straight away. However, nowadays everyone just cares about
money only. If you do not have money, you cannot buy the ingredients.
Technically, you cannot start your business. Honestly, I kind of miss my amazing
friends I have had that prioritized friendships. Besides that, it is also hard to
employ people. Nowadays, when we interview people, they tend to talk about
salary first. If the salary is very low, no one would want to work.
13. What strategies do you employ to divert customers away
from your competitors?
Our products must be fresh and clean. Besides that, I believe that when we are
making the traditional biscuits, it’s all about the skills that we have. If your biscuits
are tasty, everyone would buy them from you definitely. If your biscuits are not
good enough to be competed in the food market, customers would still buy from
you. However, after their first trials on your product, they would not really buy
products from you again.
14. Are your pricing decisions strongly affected by your
competitors? Why or why not?
Sorry, I have got no comments on this particular issue.
15. What are your future plans for the business if any?
No. My son does not want to take over my business. My biscuit business will not
be able to continue for more than ten years because currently, I am already
seventy years old and I still cannot find anyone that could replace me.
16. What do you sell besides your main products, services or
signature dishes?
19. 19
Last time, we produced 10 to 12 products but now we only produce 6-7 products
only. Besides the main traditional cookies, I also make Chinese wedding cookies
because it is still common in the food market.
17. Do you run any other businesses apart from this business?
No. I feel that it already is enough to run my biscuit business.
18. What are the differences do you think running the business
in Penang and or Klang valley?
If I were to compare my business with the ones in Penang, I can’t really give any
comments because everyone has their own standard skills and tastes. However,
I feel that the Penang’s green bean biscuit is much better than Klang’s. In
management system wise, there are no differences between Klang’s and
Penang’s because to make traditional biscuits, the most important thing is the
skills that we have which judge whether we can make nice traditional biscuits or
not.
19. How do you plan to sustain or maintain the business?
I have no idea. However, we have got more than enough money to sustain and
maintain this business as long as I can feed my own family and have enough
money to spend.

packets. The special Bah Kut Teh ingredients were formulated by Tatt Huat’s
grandfather in the 1900s in Penang. Besides Bah Kut Teh ingredients, Tean Ean is also
well known for its freshly baked Tau Sar Pneah pastries. The Tau Sar Pneah were
made in an open kitchen because it reveals to customers that no preservatives and
MSG are used. Tean Ean also makes its own nutmeg rheumatism oil, nutmeg oil, and
nutmeg syrup. You could get a box of Tau Sar Pneah at a reasonable price, RM 5.70.
4) Who are your customers?
Our customers are mainly residents and tourists in Mainland Penang. This is because
we do not have any franchises or delivery services and therefore, people have got to
come to our one and only shop to buy these products.

comparing its estimate annual revenue figure)?
A business’ performance is evaluated by the profit we get every year. So, customers
play a dominant role. Our business tend to make more profit during holidays and vice

which made RM 2.5 Million. I am very happy and satisfied with this result.

recent developments?
Originated from Canton, China, Tean Ean has become an integral part of
Penang, Malaysia's colourful heritage and mesmerising traditions. We have hit our
target of making a total profit of RM 2 Million in 2012. Also, we have got modern
technologies such as machines and large ovens to produce more products faster.
8) Do you have any rival businesses? Who are they?
Yes, we do. One of our most bitter rivals is Ghee Hiang. They also sell good and
tasty biscuits. However, I have been told that many customers there were treated
impolitely that we have never done before.
9) Is the business constantly facing strong competition from other
competitors? What strategies have they used to compete against
you?
Yes, we have been facing this crisis for the past few years. They have used many
strategies to compete with us such as setting up more branches, advertising through
internet & television and even giving crazy promotions and discounts.
10) How big is your market share (market’s total sales) as well as your
top competitors?
Sorry, I do not have any comments.
11) Do you think it is easy to enter in this market? Why?
What are the challenges faced in setting up this business?
In my opinion, Malaysians love to eat and are hungry for delicious food. Therefore, I
thought of starting this business, since most of the people love to experience new food.
Yes, we did face a lot of challenges when we started this business back then. Tau Sar
Pneah were supplied to us as we did not have enough workers to do so. As the
economy drops, the supplier had stopped supplying us due to the poor performance. In
this short period of time, we had to find many workers and produce the Tau Sar Pneah
on our own, which was really tough.
12) What strategies do you employ to divert customers away from
your competitors?
We would give good promotions & discounts, treat them politely and produce good
quality products so that our customers would still have faith on us.
13) Are your pricing decisions strongly affected by your competitors?
Why or why not?
No, they are not. This is because, if you truly love the product, you’re willing to pay
for it, no matter what. Therefore, I believe in producing good products to gain our
customers’ confidence on us.
14) What are your future plans for the business if any?
22. 22
We have just started our website on the internet to make it well known in Malaysia
and even the whole world. Therefore, we would want to make our website active so that
people can get our latest updates on the products.
15) What do you sell besides your main products, services or
signature dishes?
Do you run any other businesses apart from this business?
Yes, we do sell other products. Some of the products are originally founded in other
states in Malaysia that we sell such as, Dodol (From Malacca), Sa Ke Ma (From Ipoh)
and many more.
16) What are the differences do you think running the business in
Penang and or Klang Valley?
I think it is easier to run a business here rather that in Klang Valley because we
would have a lot of competitors in this developed district and the maintenance of the
shop is also expensive there.
17) How do you plan to sustain or maintain the business?
I truly believe that one’s effort would be paid off. If we do our best, we would get our
rewards. Basically, there’s nothing we could do much but to work hard and have faith.
