foreign
the streaming battle the content Wars in
India heat up yet again this time Geo
Cinema is making all the waves remember
when you used to watch all that fancy
HBO content on hotstar well now it's on
jiocinema all the big Sports properties
that's also now on jio Cinema so there
is a Premium plan as well and it's
genuinely stirred The Hornet's Nest so
to speak but what is it all gonna pan
out like how does India's Ott landscape
really look for all of us consumers
here's a tech today Special Report
[Music]
thank you
it may feel like a moment of deja vu
when you hear that jio is disrupting an
industry once again but no it's not 2016
again when Geo single-handedly changed
the face of the Telecom industry but
it's 2023 and this time jio is targeting
the OTG industry with IPL already up on
their screens the next big bet that has
that jiocinema has taken is by bringing
in the HBO content this comes at a time
when the Indian audience is pretty much
starved for their favorite American
shows like House of dragons succession
Last of Us and many others but be it the
IPL or HBO content jio has managed to
single out Disney plus hot Star by
taking away two of its biggest crowd
pullers in fact a further hit was when
Geo Cinema streamed the much loved IPL
for free in contrast to hot star which
made its users by plans ranging from 899
to 14.99 in a market where there's
Netflix with its variety of plants the
lowest one starting at 199 ranging up to
649 per month Geo is available for 999
for a year which is still cheaper than
Amazon Prime which is priced at 14.99
for a year Geo Cinema offers only one
plan for now whereas Disney plus hot
star has two one for 8.99 a year which
is cheaper than jio of course and one at
14.99 same as Amazon Prime but the
question is with IPL and HBO content
taken away from their hands how will
Disney plus hot star retain its
subscribers I think this had to happen
so one big reason why it has happened is
because the premium audience who's going
to consume this SQ and Warner content
they want to have an ad free experience
right and IPL was introduced from a
different strategic standpoint when they
really wanted to focus on the masses and
drive a large customer base on jio
Cinema now because they want an ad free
experience I think this is more targeted
to the premium audience in terms of you
know how they feel about the platform
what is their experience you know around
the technology offering the user
experience everything put together
whether they're able to track trends of
these premium customers in terms of
their consumption patterns and whether
they're able to retain customers as well
consumer and content these are the two
C's that pretty much run the otd
industry we know about jio Cinema's
content strategy with HBO and IPL but
what about consumers are consumers
really signing up for the 9.99 per year
subscription plan and will they be
moving to Geo Cinema let's find out it
all depends to be very honest we've had
some good otd apps like hot stars and
Amazon Prime and a vote for that matter
so there's Netflix hot Star jio Cinema
now coming in would you be intrigued
towards jio Cinema now that it also
costs 9.99 per year yeah it's a new new
series so we'll surely watch a jio
cinema even I'll just try for geo Cinema
if it's fantastic then definitely we'll
go for it would you ditch your regular
Netflix hot star to come to jio cinema
if it's better for sure we'll do that
suddenly because of the IPL I think
there's a big disruption that the entire
uh you know viewership has sort of gone
to a jio if I'm not wrong a hostel has a
better
otd platform like it has variety of
movies and everything and it has been
collaborating with other such as Game of
Thrones and all in like when Game of
Thrones new season came in so every
Monday we used to wait for it in terms
of rising I think Oster has a better
content so pricing is not the issue for
that another thing I have noted that in
jio cinema user interface is not that
good so that has made some not good that
experience as compared to other
streaming the websites with competition
in the pricing plans raised to make
great content the Ott players ultimately
are making consumers the real winners so
be it Geo Cinema or hotstar V users are
happy to get our favorite shows Sports
tournaments and more the changing
dynamics of the industry also reflect on
how there's still so much to tap into
the space and the space for every player
