Consumer Viewing Habits of India in 2019
“The science of today is the technology of tomorrow”, as put by Edward Teller. 5 years down the lane, we would not see a vibrant change in the viewing habits of Indians but a bold and a strong modification & a continuation of what is going on in the present.

Consumer viewing habits now involve so much more than just the living room TV and traditional broadcast services. Today people take their entertainment wherever they want. Digitalization took its colour, IPTV, usage of social media and Internet based connections changed the habits of all the consumers in terms of viewership (If looked from back). Now this will seek a hike in growth in the next coming years as the engrossment & engagement in it would seek more highlights.

This change in viewing points out to the consumer’s ideology of
