Indian Media Industry Adapts to Converging Screens and Shifting Audience EngagementPreviousNext

Indian media is evolving as traditional television, streaming, and mobile platforms increasingly converge rather than replace each other. Industry leaders highlight a shift from maximizing reach to focusing on personalized, meaningful content and audience engagement. New app-based services offer live TV alongside OTT platforms, reflecting changing viewer habits. Executives also emphasize monetizing consumer intent through interaction and commerce, while recognizing global markets as growth opportunities for Indian storytelling.
