Netflix Faces Intense Competition From Two Filthy Rich Businessmen in It’s Biggest Potential Market

With Netflix making huge losses and losing subscribers, it seems like the prime
time for others to hop into the streaming industry. Competitors finally see an
opportunity to get an edge over the streaming giant after an entire decade.
Thus, Asia’s two moguls, Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani and Adani
Enterprises Ltd’s Gautam Adani are all preparing to enter the Indian streaming
market. They will directly compete for subscribers with Netflix, Amazon, and
Hotstar

SECOND, TO CHINA, INDIA IS THE BIGGEST MARKET 

“India is the only full-scale, high-growth opportunity in Asia outside of
China,” said
[https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/indias-two-richest-men-prep-for-war-with-netflix-amazon-101651148328398.html]Vivek
Couto, executive director at Media Partners Asia. Ambani already had his foot in
the media industry with his Viacom18 Media Pvt, a joint venture with Paramount
Global. While the reliance shares increased by 1.5%, TV18 Broadcast and Network
18’s shares have dropped by 18% and 20% respectively. Now, Viacom18 will receive
1.8 million from Bodhi Tree and $216 million from Reliance.

James Murdoch and Uday Shankar co-founded the Bodhi Tree. Qatar Investment
Authority is also an investor in Bodhi Tree. The Murdoch family was a part of
the entertainment business until Walt Disney Co. bought the rights to a number
of 21st Century Fox assets, which also included Star India. The 2019 acquisition
ended Murdoch’s involvement.

Meanwhile, Ambani plans to compete for the broadcast rights of the Indian
Premier League (IPL). The event is one of the biggest championships in the
sub-continent, comparable to the Super Bowl. Almost 300 million viewers watched
IPL last year: 300 million viewers equal to 300 million subscribers or more this
year! Disney-owned Hotstar currently streams IPL, which may soon change.

While Viacom18 is expanding, Adani is just starting out. The mogul has already
founded a new media subsidiary. The firm will also branch out in publishing,
marketing, distribution, and advertising through AMG Media Networks.
Additionally, Adani Media Ventures Ltd has invested in Quintillion Business Pvt,
the Indian partner of Bloomberg LP.

NETFLIX SLASHES ITS PRICE FOR INDIAN SUBSCRIBERS

On the other hand, Netflix is attempting to expand its market in Indian. The
streamer was forced to reduce its prices for the subcontinent, while it
increased prices in the UK and USA. Furthermore, it recently decided to change
the direction of its content

Now, it’s a waiting game to see if these measures will help Netflix get an edge
over Viacom18 and Adani.
