One Take Media Co (OTMC), a global content production and distribution hub, is all set to foray into the Indian OTT space with newly launched app, Playflix.
With a content library of more than 10,000 hours of content OTMC’s Playflix will include content across a whopping 28 genres ranging from Hollywood Movies in nine languages, Regional language Movies, Kids, Cooking, Korean TV dramas in Hindi and many more.
Being the first ever mover in the Korean content space, OTMC boasts of a Korean library of popular Korean drama series dubbed in Hindi and K-Pop Music. Playflix will highly appeal to all kinds of audience in urban as well as regional audience as it has a varied selection of movies in nine Indian regional languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri and Bengali.
As per KPMG report, “The online video consumption in India has evolved in a significant way in the last couple of years. With consumption now going mass and viewers spending close to 8.5 hours a week on online video, we see a homogenous pattern of consumption emerging cutting across age groups, income levels and professions.”
India is one of the fastest-growing entertainment and media markets globally and is expected to keep that momentum. As data and digital infrastructure has become exceedingly accessible even in small cities of India, the market for OTT has widened enormously. With easy and affordable availability of internet, the internet users have escalated to 500 millions. By 2023 estimation, the internet users are likely to touch $5 billion. Also the penetration of smartphones has surpassed 600 millions.
