Abstract: For more than 200 million households in India, video consumption on a television set has been the focal point of entertainment. Traditional or linear TV viewership entailed viewers making themselves available in front of the TV set to consume video content that is broadcasted, as per a predefined schedule. Advancement in technology, penetration of personal devices like smartphones and availability of high-speed internet coupled with new sources of content creation and distribution platforms has led to the emergence of video OTT - a new way of video consumption. This study assesses the video consumption behaviour in India which not only has a large number of linear TV connections but also the second-largest number of internet and mobile phone users in the world. The findings of the study will enhance understanding of current and future video consumption, which is critical to brands for their marketing communications.
