  • India's video-streaming industry saw growth driven by the Disney-Jio merger and JioCinema's premium offerings. Platforms focused on regional content, hybrid revenue models, and AI for personalization.

The article from Livemint discusses the evolving landscape of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms in India, focusing on their advertising models and content strategies.

Meanwhile, platforms like ZEE5 are focusing on personalization and regional content to retain and grow their audience. The article highlights how these platforms are adapting to consumer behavior, with a notable trend towards ad-supported viewing, and how content strategy, including exclusive sports rights and regional programming, plays a crucial role in capturing market share.
