    MUMBAI: Currently, 57 percent of kids prefer television while only 10 per cent receive their entertainment via OTT. 33 percent of kids prefer to watch both television and OTT. Younger kids prefer television while older kids with more access to OTT platforms lean towards it. There exists a clear geographical divide in kids’ preference for OTT entertainment where only 81 percent of kids surveyed in southern India preferred OTT as opposed to 56 percent of kids surveyed in eastern India.

    Kids entertainment channel Sony YAY! has released its latest survey titled, SearchLight’22. This decodes the lives and habits of Indian Kids, in collaboration with Kantar Research. The psychometric profiling by the survey presents findings that highlight various trends across eight cities in the country.

    The research derives its findings between educational and personal development and also entertainment preferences. It offers a deep dive into India’s young audiences aged between 7-14 years. It also undertakes region-wise bifurcation of the data, considering India’s geographical and cultural diversities, to highlight the preferred activities of kids from region specific markets.

    On OTT platforms kids consume cartoons and animation content the most followed by music, educational/informational shows, hindi and regional movies and stand up comedy shows.

    The journey from blackboards to keyboards is what kids witnessed through the pandemic, thus, to understand their learning preferences, SearchLight’22 sheds a few insights-

    – Kids favoured online classes over offline classes due to rewatch option of online classes (29 percent), the comfort of home (28 percent), followed by the ability to attend classes they usually can’t physical (16 percent) and save time (15 percent)

    – The top five activities participated by kids during the pandemic were tuition classes (76 percent), art & craft (24 percent), followed by sports (19 percent), dancing (18 percent) and singing (19 percent)

    – The majority of respondents wishes for lessons to be held online (63 percent) while the rest wanted to go back to the pre-pandemic style of offline teaching (37 percent)

    – Edutech platforms which rose to prominence during the lockdown saw that only 6percent of respondents had Edutech subscriptions while 7 percent respondents had not subscribed but attended Edutech classes. However, 39 percent had opted to use YouTube videos to learn concepts while 48 percent were not aware of the existence of Edutech platforms

    With kids being limited to their homes owing to movement restrictions due to the pandemic, gaming became an essential part of kids’ entertainment. The following insights were inferred from the survey:

    – One out of two kids enjoyed gaming on their phone

    – Free games were core to their consumption

    – 53 percent preferred to play solo while 44 percent were included in multiplayer games with friends and only 4 percent played multiplayer games with strangers

    Flipkart Grocery nudges Indian households to not compromise on quality

    Mumbai: Homegrown e-commerce marketplace Flipkart has announced the launch of its latest digital campaign for Flipkart Grocery – a category that continues to see exponential year-on-year growth. With this latest campaign titled ‘Aapki Pasand pe Super bachat’, Flipkart aims to establish the marketplace platform as the “best destination” for buying groceries online.

    Flipkart conducted extensive research ahead of the campaign launch, which determined how one of the key factors for a seamless e-grocery buying experience is high-quality products coupled with value-driven constructs.

    The campaign starts with a homemaker in an Indian household with a ‘well-kept secret’ on how she procures the best quality of daal that she uses. It further shows how the homemaker understands everyone’s taste and ensures that she is bringing the best groceries in her house which are considered the favorite by her whole family. Through the campaign, Flipkart establishes that grocery purchases affect everyone in the household and hence, the ‘secret’ should be to ensure that the household has access to a range of their choice of high-quality products at affordable prices.

    Flipkart Grocery VP Smrithi Ravichandran said, “Understanding the requirements of Indian consumers and catering to them is what Flipkart is known for. With this latest campaign, we want to highlight how our platform is able to bring the highest quality of products that undergo stringent quality checks, over and above the mandatory checks, to consumers across the country. Today, not just in metro cities but consumers from over 1,800 cities have access to e-grocery services that meet their standards of shopping while giving them a value-driven experience.”

  • Gaana surprises listeners with new feature ‘AutoQueue’

    Gaana surprises listeners with new feature ‘AutoQueue’

    Mumbai: Music streaming app, Gaana has unveiled its latest product feature ‘AutoQueue’ that promises to offer personalised music listening to its users.

    The newly introduced feature is powered by a machine learning algorithm that factors the probability of songs being heard together (past behavior) as well as similarity of music, tempo/bpm, etc to predict possible songs a user would like to hear after they have manually played one song. The algorithm analyses thousands of signals and data points to come up with personalised song suggestions.

    The feature enables consumers to hit up a song and indulge in seamless streaming while Gaana plays similar songs on its own. The benefit is that it will dramatically reduce the time spent in manual searching & solves the problem of “listener’s block” (where one struggles to think of the next song to play). Autoqueue also makes the discovery of new music easier, as listeners get served apt songs they might not know of on their own.

    Gaana CEO Sandeep Lodha said, “In the last year and a half, audio streaming has played a major role in people’s lives and consumption is on the up. With AutoQueue we are going one step further to hyper-personalise each user’s app experience making it effortless to listen to great music. The feature is born of Gaana’s user research & tech capabilities and gives personalised endless background track to the lives our users live in the foreground.”

    The brand has also released an ad film to communicate the ease & joy of music listening with AutoQueue. The lighthearted commercial shows two girls going for a short drive that turns to a never-ending long drive, as Gaana AutoQueue keeps playing surprisingly apt songs that they love.

  • Netflix tests ‘Mobile+’ plan in India priced at Rs 299 a month

    Netflix tests ‘Mobile+’ plan in India priced at Rs 299 a month

    KOLKATA: Over the last two years, streaming giant Netflix has been experimenting with its pricing model as well as marketing strategy in India. After seeing massive success of its first mobile only plan, the company is testing “Mobile+” plan at Rs 299 per month.

    “We launched the mobile plan in India to make it easier for anyone with a smartphone to enjoy Netflix. We want to see if members like the added choice Mobile+ brings. We’ll only roll it out long-term if they do,” a Netflix spokesperson told Indiantelevision.com.

    The Rs 299 plan lets users stream content in HD quality on one screen at a time, be it mobile, tablet, or desktop/laptop.

    India was the first country where the streaming service launched its mobile only plan at Rs 199 per month in July 2019. The existing mobile plan supports streaming in SD only on a single mobile device at a time. Notably, Netflix members in India watch more on their mobiles than subscribers anywhere else in the world. Post the launch, the streamer stated the ambitious low-priced mobile plan saw better uptake than the initial testing suggested.

    All markets or households don’t have wired broadband connection yet but most of them have a good smartphone and high-speed mobile data. Hence, the new plan, if launched, will give more options to consumers. However, if consumers don’t find value in it, Netflix will not roll it out more widely.

    Netflix recently unveiled its impressive 2021 line up of 40 plus originals. “Everyone has different taste, different preferences, different moods and they watch Netflix on different devices. Whether you are watching alone or with your family, whether you have 20 minutes or two hours, we work hard to make sure Netflix always has something great for you. This is exactly why we create so many stories across genres, languages, formats for you to choose. This year we are ready to take our next big leap to entertain India,” Netflix India vice president content Monika Shergill said.
