OTT Platforms are one of the fastest - growing networks of todays Indian online
marketing world. The OTT-based segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40%
in 2019. It is owing to a feature that OTT-based solutions deliver film and TV content
through the internet without the need for users to subscribe to traditional cable or
pay-TV services. The segment is also expected to register the fastest growth over the
