Brands like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, HBO Max and Apple Tv have become household names. Especially during and after the pandemic, OTT platforms became the most popular way of consuming media. In 2014, India only had 0.5 million paid OTT subscribers. Jump to 2021, based on the report by CII-BCG, India witnessed 70-80 million paid OTT subscribers. This leap shows how the OTT industry became vast and relevant to the Indian context.  

What Is An OTT Service?

An OTT (Over The Top) media service refers to any media platform which sends any streaming media directly to the consumer, over the internet. The service can be accessed through your smartphone, laptop or smart TV.

What makes OTT preferable over traditional media is the direct, interruption-free experience and access to a variety of content under one platform. Another bonus that OTT enjoys as a platform is the lack of restrictions/regulations that are seen with broadcast media or films.

Why OTT?

With the OTT booming at a great speed and the market saturating rapidly with new OTT players coming in, we are noticing an increasing demand for OTT producers. Consumers are maturing and we are witnessing an increase in the demand for quality content. To meet this void, the industry needs creative, unconventional and eccentric individuals who can deliver to the demand of the consumers.
