Industry POV

Five things I believe
about Indian OTT right now.

01 — Regional Content
Regional language originals will define platform differentiation in 2026–28. Non-Hindi content already accounts for over 50% of OTT viewership. Platforms still treating regional as supplementary are misreading where subscriber growth lives.
02 — Content Operations
The biggest gap in Indian OTT is operations, not content ideas. Content delays don't happen at the creative stage — they happen at metadata, QC, localisation, and scheduling handoffs that nobody has properly mapped.
03 — South India
The South Indian market is simultaneously the most underserved and highest-potential OTT segment. Aha's growth in Telugu proved the demand. No platform has cracked cross-language South Indian content strategy at scale yet.
04 — Acquisition Decisions
The best content acquisition decisions connect creative investment to subscriber acquisition cost and retention impact. Passion alone doesn't justify a greenlight — a structured business case does.
05 — Platform Strategy
Amazon's 36-original India announcement in 2025 signals a strategic shift Netflix must respond to. Whoever cracks Tamil and Telugu originals at scale in 2025–26 wins the next Indian subscriber wave.

Key Finding

India's OTT audience has reached 601.2 million people. Non-Hindi content now accounts for over 50% of all OTT viewership. Yet both Netflix India and Amazon Prime Video remain structurally over-indexed on Hindi originals. The South Indian market represents the single largest underserved growth opportunity on either platform.

About

Seven years
of structure.
One clear direction.

I'm Praveen Saki — a Business Analyst with 7+ years of experience and an MA in Media & Communication from the University of Hyderabad. I work at the intersection of content, product, and operations — and I'm making a deliberate move into OTT and media.

At Williams Lea, I own the end-to-end product backlog for automation transformation programmes across 5–10 global enterprise clients. I run discovery workshops, conduct market and competitor analysis, build product roadmaps, and lead all Scrum ceremonies for teams of 15+ across 10+ sprints.

My MA research was grounded in media business models, audience theory, and content economics. I led creative operations for global live media events at CoProTech. I built content roadmaps at Valor PayTech. The analytical rigour is from BA. The media instinct is from everything else.

I'm Tamil and Telugu fluent, South India-based, and I understand those content markets from the inside — at a time when regional language content is where every major OTT platform's next subscriber wave will come from.
