Overview

No other industry both survives and thrives on informative data as this. There is arelentless churn across entire spectrum from data-creation to its eventual consumption and it doesn’t even end there because the industry critically depends upon how its consumers “react” to what is “fed” to them. Stupendous competition renders maintaining a competitive edge, a seemingly never-ending mirage, while extremely diverse data flowing back and forth 24*7*365 makes workflow management itself, a challenge that can be justifiably termed, nightmarish. While technology is rapidly evolving in this industry, it’s adaptation without impacting TCO is a stupendous challenge. Some sobering highlights on the consumption end…

Second largest digital television consumption base in the entire world (broadcastandcablesat.co.in)
(stupendous opportunity for both innovation & growth)

167 million television installations against a total base of 234 million
[clear need to create paradigm shifts in mobile and web marketing to bridge gap aided by systemic integration]

Unabated population growth has rendered 11% as an almost stagnant share of television-exposed to television-un-exposed audience
[developing extremely impactful content strategies to tap into the un-exposed segment]

he second largest film industry in the entire world is in India; yet, the filmdom sector showing a significant fall in profitability and box office footfalls
[creating multiple touchpoints through “digital invasion” using primary and secondary marketing communication channels]

Pay tv growth amongst the highest in the world at ~86% (MPA 2015 report)
[maintaining competitive edge with free on air content is a multi-dimensional challenge]

4.3% growth rate of satellite content consumption vs. just 1% for cable (KPMG 2015 report)
[with increased disposable income propensity, there is fear of demise of cable-based content which a digital enterprise needs to look at seriously]

Highly unorganized print sector mars both innovation and technology adoption
[custom digital technologies can hold roost here by quicker adaptation to specific business] environments)

FM spectrum auctions now spread to 69 cities and growing
[encouraging industry-wide backward integration on digital platforms can create paradigm shifts in the growth story]

Numerous consolidations spurring the advent of end-to-end players
[maintaining an agile enterprise necessary demands enterprise-wide adaptation of high-end digital solutions failing which, only further consolidation becomes, but obviously, inevitable due to the extremely competitive nature of this marketspace]

Key Challenges:

Mega Data with Agility and Ultra mobility : Extremely diversified as well as highly unstructured raw data buzzing around almost 24*7*365 with need for consistent high-speed throughput makes business intelligence gathering, a stupendous task unless enterprise and industry-wide systemic digital adoption is not in vogue

Unique content Creation:

In an extremely demanding marketspace full of discerning customers, technology, while coming to the aid, cannot compensate for consumer-side gaps in technology adaptation (for e.g., satellite HD content streaming is still highly restricted to the A1++ SEC segment in terms of consumption). On the supply side, commoditization of stereotype content is facing the law of diminishing returns. Unavailability of right metrics and methodology: BTL activities (e.g., sponsorships) face crucial gaps in RoI assessment due to the abstract variables involved which technology and discrete mathematics is only now beginningto slowly fill… But there are numerous inefficiencies and inconsistencies. Display advertising in a similar vein, has no specific fool-proof methodologies to decipher efficiency and efficacy.

Data ownership and security:

IPs are intrinsic to this industry as much as stupendously high-volume data. Security technologies have specific limitations and to assume seamless integrity across an enterprise for maintaining very high level of containment demands very significant investmentswith constantly rebounding TCOs
