Video Platforms for Indian Audience

As the mobile internet grew in India, the audience is more redirected to video on demand (VoD), and OTT (over the top) media streaming. Until Jio breaks the price barrier on mobile data, these services did not get much attention as mobile data was quite costly, and VoD takes up quite good amount of data. 

However as Indian mobile operators started to offer 1 - 5GB data per day, there is a drastic increase in video consumption among Indian population, and we can see more than 8 players came into this market. 

This is a brief list of video platforms available in India, and it's not all inclusive. It was updated til August 2019 and yet not much research done for this article. I'm expecting that more details will be added in future.
