When it comes to entertainment, we suppose
to think about the mind chilling apps or services. We have a broad connection
to acquire this. We all aware with the apps which is most popular when coming
to entertainment such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, ZEE5 and
many more. There are the common and mostly used apps that has a broad network.
These apps include collection of popular of shows and freshly out movies and
lots of web-series. But with the popularity in the entertainment sector, these
apps don’t provide free. They charge good value for the subscription especially
Netflix. So, the reason of not most used apps in India. Indians wants the products
which are cheap and best. The subscription for these apps has mostly in US,
Brazil and many more countries but not India. We can say India has very a
smaller number of users for Netflix. The other apps took place which has taken
less money for the subscription. For this improvement and increasing the
numbers of users in India, Netflix has taken step.
Streaming giant Netflix on 21st November
announced that it will make its platform free from the 5th December to 6th
December in India. It means anyone in India can watch all the blockbuster
films, series, etc. for free. It'll start from 12 midnight on 5th December.
It'll be free for two days. You'll watch all the blockbuster films, series,
award-winning, documentaries, reality shows, etc. Netflix believes that this
manner non-subscribers are going to be ready to experience the service for free
of charge. This concept is aimed toward bringing new users to the platform.
Netflix's strongest competitors within the Indian market are Amazon Prime Video
Disney+, Hotstar and Zee5. To access Netflix's free 2 day service, visit to the
official site or app, sign up alongside your name, email or phone number,
password and start streaming. No credit or open-end credit or payment needed.
You all can enjoy. Monika Shergill, vice chairman, Content, Netflix India said
anyone who signs in during Stream Fest gets one stream, so, nobody else can use
an equivalent login information." She explained that users logging onto
Stream Fest are going to be ready to access features like customizing profiles,
browse Netflix in Hindi, add series or films to 'My List', watch with subtitles
in several languages, see the highest 10 list, use Smart Downloads on mobile,
etc. Viewers can even access parental control feature to observe a child's usage.
Netflix has 195.15 million paid subscribers worldwide. Last year, Netflix had
launched a mobile phone-only plan in India. The planet was shocked by seeing
such a service for the first time.
Netflix has become a staple on American
households. So, it would be hard to believe that the majority of its 137
million subscribers are international. The streaming giant has expanded to over
190 countries but one country where Netflix has had difficulty breaking through
is India. Both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video launched in India in 2016. Thanks
partially to the drastic drop in mobile data prices. India is now the second
largest internet market within the planet following China. Quite 35 different
streaming services have launched or expanded their businesses in India within
the last three-and-a-half years. One company that streams Cricket and Indian
movies and shows called Hot Star is leading the race.
Research firm Jana estimates Hot Star holds
about 70% of the on-demand local streaming services market. Even Amazon Prime
video is greater than Netflix in India. And India's online video market valued
at over $700 million is predicted to grow to $2.4 billion in value by 2023. But
according to analysts, Netflix isn't grabbing a huge piece of that pie. We
expect that Netflix likely has somewhere between half 1,000,000 and 1,000,000
paid streaming subs in India immediately. Pricing could be one reason Hot Star
has had a foothold on Netflix. Hotstar offers its premium service for about $3
a month in India and about 80% of its catalog is liberal to begin with. Amazon
Prime costs a couple of $1.90 a month including access to Prime Music. Compare
that to the foremost cost-effective plan that Netflix offers which can be a
touch over $7 a month. Hot Star also offers streaming rights to the bulk of
Cricket tournaments in India, the country's hottest sport. Earlier this year,
10.3 million viewers tuned into Hotstar to watch the finale of the Indian
Premier League tournament. Facebook even offered to pay quite $600 million for
the IPL's digital rights but lost bent Star India which owns Hotstar. It's
worth noting that Netflix has purposefully stayed away from streaming live
sports within the us. It is a strategy that's worked well thus far domestically
but it remains to be seen if it'll add India. Then there's the hunger for local
content, here again Hotstar has a plus. Because it has been ready to provide
shows in regional languages which it borrows from channels operated by Star
India its parent company. But Netflix has taken note of the demand. We'll go
from expanding, you know, beyond English into Hindi then into more languages,
more pricing options, more bundling, all of those things are possible. Now
we'll take it, you know, 1,000,000 at a time and determine the thanks to expand
the market as we grow. Despite India's challenges, a neighborhood of the
rationale investors has given Netflix its God evaluation is precisely because
it's room to expand. It has been an awesome growth story and it will still be
an awesome global growth story as they expand into Asia, India and a couple of
the international markets. So, our evaluation immediately is $420 a share,
that's progressed upward over time and that we think that as long as global
runway it's likely to still enter that direction. It'll take time for Netflix
to make up its presence.
Thanks for the news
