> Netflix+Hotstar just can't compete when a Jio, Amazon Prime, and regional OTT (Aha, Hoichoi, Koode) bundle comes out to around the same price as a Netflix India membership and gives much more content.
I have a feeling that in few years instead of doing what others are doing better Netflix may drastically cut down Indian division and just keep their exclusive shows/ movies with high price and low market share.
- alephnerd 3y agoNetflix needs India (and ASEAN) as those are their only growth markets left, but they entered both markets way too late and failed to build the right partnerships. > Netflix may drastically cut down Indian division It's already extremely barebones. Netflix India originals are just Netflix branding on previously produced content by the production companies I mentioned earlier. It's the same with Netflix Anime (I think it's rebranded Tokyo MX and TV Asahi content) and Netflix KDramas (JTBC - who also has a stake in TV Asahi and Tokyo MX - and CJ Group).
- wolverine876 3y agoMaybe they'll buy the local company.
- alephnerd 3y agoNaw, the RoI isn't there for Netflix as there are too many companies, and Reliance or Essel Group would swoop in anyhow.
