Your directors have pleasure in presenting the management discussion and analysis report for the year ended on March 31, 2024. The Management Discussion and Analysis have been included in consonance with the Code of Corporate Governance as approved by The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Investors are cautioned that these discussions contain certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties including those risks which are inherent in the Companys growth and strategy. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the opinions or forward-looking statements expressed in this report consequent to new information or developments, events or otherwise.

The Management of the Company is presenting herein the overview, opportunities and threats, initiatives by the Company and overall strategy of the Company and its outlook for the future. This outlook is based on Managements own assessment and it may vary due to future economic and other future developments in the country. Indias remarkable economic performance in recent years has positioned it as a key player on the global stage. As of now, India has ascended to the rank of the fifth-largest economy in the world, a testament to its sustained and robust growth trajectory. The economic landscape in India has shown resilience and adaptability, consistently outperforming expectations.

For the fiscal year 2023-24, projections suggest a robust GDP growth rate of 7.6%, marking the third consecutive year that India has achieved growth rates exceeding 7%. This sustained momentum is not only a reflection of the countrys strong economic fundamentals but also of the strategic efforts undertaken by both the public and private sectors.

Moreover, the alignment of private and public capital expenditure has further bolstered Indias growth prospects. The governments commitment to infrastructure development, coupled with an increase in private sector investments, has created a conducive environment for sustained economic expansion. Public capital expenditure, particularly in sectors such as transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure, has provided a strong foundation for growth. Simultaneously, the private sectors response has been robust, with significant investments in technology, manufacturing, and services sectors, which are vital for long-term economic stability and growth.

The Media & Entertainment (M&E) sector thrives on its ability to offer a wide variety of content across multiple platforms. Traditional media channels such as television and radio remain significant players, providing entertainment and information through established formats. Television, for example, continues to captivate audiences with a mix of news, drama, reality shows, and live events, while radio serves as a trusted source of music, talk shows, and local news. In parallel, the sector has seen a significant shift towards digital platforms, which have transformed how content is consumed and distributed. Digital media has opened up new avenues, such as streaming services, social media, and video games, offering audiences on-demand access to a vast array of content. Streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ have revolutionized film and television consumption, allowing viewers to watch what they want, when they want, without being tied to traditional broadcasting schedules.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have also become integral to the M&E landscape, serving as both content hubs and interactive spaces where users can engage directly with creators and brands. These platforms not only provide entertainment but also facilitate user-generated content, amplifying the role of audiences as active participants in the media ecosystem.

In India, though, the picture is more promising, M&E revenue in the country witnessed 15.9% growth to USD 46,207 million in 2022 compared to 2021. In fact, the Indian market is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% in the forecast period to reach USD 73,560 million in 2027.

India, like China and Indonesia, is a growth hotspot offering a desirable combination of existing size and scale, and rapid expected growth for digital media. The launch of commercial 5G services in India in 2022 is an important factor shaping M & E industry capex in 2023. A sizeable section of consumers can now enjoy seamless streaming of higher quality content, thus unlocking new opportunities for the sector. Increasingly cheaper data packages are making the internet accessible to a large population. Data consumption in India is projected to increase to 979.1K petabytes (Pb) in 2027 as against 9.7 million Pb globally, and internet access in the country is expected to generate a revenue of USD 29.1 billion around the same time.

Powered by over-the-top (OTT) platforms, the gaming sector, traditional TV, internet and out-of-home (OOH) advertising and the use of the metaverse, Indias E&M industry is expected to grow exponentially. With multi-disciplinary cultural spaces being set up in different metros, a rise in in-person events will also provide considerable room for growth as advertisers are keen to access Indias diverse demography and large live audiences.
