OTT Viewership and Pandemic: A study on New Trends of online video content
and cinema hall footfalls.

OBJECTIVIES OF THE STUDY-

The objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework which attempts to analyse the
factors of viewership during the lockdown in India. Also, it identifies factors such as watching the
experience of viewers will affect the future footfalls of the cinema halls.

LITERATURE REVIEW-

Our finding shows that the strong attachment of OTT to the audience in the lock-down period has
confirmed that this is the most convenient and accessible technology and also the medium of future.
Smartphone penetration, International collaborations between media moguls and digital quality of
the medium. Cost effectiveness and access liberty (anywhere at any time) is also one of the reasons
behind growth of streaming media in India.

In other finding rise in Ott's audience during Pandemic has made one thing clear that the way OTT
allow its viewers to watch content, people are tied to this technology. Now it will be very difficult for
them to go back to the cinema hall and watch movies. Although some respondents who like to
watch movies in the cinema hall will still like to go there, this number is sure to come down. OTT
video streaming services will surely affect the future footfalls of the cinema hall In a nutshell it will
be considered that “Over The Top” video streaming services is the technology of the future and
make huge impact on the our collective watching habits and as well as the future footfalls of cinema
hall.

ROLE OF COVID AS A CATALYST IN INCREASING ADOPTION OF OTTS IN INDIA: A STUDY OF
EVOLVING CONSUMER CONSUMPTION PATTERNS AND FUTURE BUSINESS SCOPE

OBJECTIVIES OF THE STUDY-

To study the key trends around OTT adoption trigged by COVID-19 in urban India within Delhi-NCR,
and study and evaluate comparative audience preferences and trends around OTT v/s TV viewing,
also to assimilate and study the consumer opinion regarding ‘likes and dislikes of OTT as a platform.

LITERATURE REVIEW-

Viewing content on any medium is a matter of behaviour which converts into a habit over a period
of time. Indians for long have yearned for diversity of content. A common family television enabled
with limited channels restricted the imagination of young India. This imagination was tapped and
explored by OTT players optimally during COVID 19 and the flexibility of accessing a range of content
on personal devices including smartphones and tablets gave young India the freedom to watch what
they desired. Yet, OTT players have just been able to touch the tip of the ice berg, there is immense
potential to dive deeper into the regional Indian market in times to come. With just 40 OTT
platforms and limited regional content, this medium has created a new niche for itself in urban India.
COVID 19 has played a very significant role in mass adoption of the medium in urban regions where
people have better paying power than semi-urban or rural India. OTTs are being perceived as
aspirational medium of content consumption and with all the noise in right circles, they are fast
converting the fence sitters across age groups and demographic regional. COVID 19 brought with
itself some factors which became the new normal, like working from home, which have seemed to
offer flexibility of schedules to many. A random walk and tea time with a colleague have been
replaced with a 20-30min quick episode of one's favourite series available on an OTT platform. All
researches point to the growing duration of video content consumption year on year and COVID 19
has proved to be a turned point in furthering this behaviour change.

Social Media Consumption Amidst Covid19: Perspective for Users’ Discretion

OBJECTIVIES OF THE STUDY-

The objective of the research is to know the effects of the Social Media Consumption during
Covid19.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE-

online media channels are in reality a double-edged sword. While it had several positive implications
during successive national lockdowns and eased life for millions, it also had its flip sides which were
perpetuated by a certain section of users. On the one hand, online media provided Indians with
information related to the disease and governmental interventions, became a source of
entertainment and keeping in touch with near and dear ones and also aiding in the shopping of
essentials. But on the other, it became a principal source for the spread of misinformation, false
news and faulty treatment methods and practices and also targeted hatred at certain communities.
This rose to alarming proportions and became a major source for concern for government and
societal authorities and agencies. to decide on how to best harness the advantage this new age
media has to offer. If done right, it can unlock immense value and benefits for all sections of society
during times of emergencies and otherwise. But if it is not put to proper use, it can have deleterious
effects which are not desirable in the midst of a pandemic, or for that matter at any point of time.
