NETFLIX - Naam to suna hoga .
And the reason why the above statement is true is that Netflix is the biggest and most prized possession when it comes to OTT (over the top) platforms. Netflix was founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, and thanks to them and the team that worked behind the scenes, it gives us a platform that now has 209 million subscribers as of July 2021. Netflix has positioned itself in such a way that a common man thinks of it as a niche offering and owning a subscription is a thing they can boast about.
If you have ever used any OTT platform such as Netflix or Amazon Prime or Disney+Hotstar or Voot, you would notice a stark difference in them, their user interface and their experience, this is mainly due to the revenue they are trying to generate. For example, many platforms keep low subscription fees but they place advertisements in their videos, this way they divide the burden of the end consumers, others simply charge the consumers a little bit extra and do not allow any advertisements. This enhances the user experience but comes at a little extra cost, so it's a fair deal. Netflix on the other hand in on a whole extra level and a benchmark setter. Netflix charges the end consumers a premium subscription fee and also segregates consumers based on the video quality and the number of devices the content can be viewed and downloaded on.
Let's take India for example, the Mobile plan starts at INR 199 which offers only a single mobile phone on which Netflix can be viewed and downloaded. The Basic plan of INR 499 offers you to view the content on your TV or laptop but only one at a time. The Standard plan of INR 649 offers you to watch the content on two different devices at the same time, what it also offers, in addition, is that the content can be viewed in High Definition (HD). The Premium Plan offers you to view the content on four different devices at the same time, in addition, it also provides you to view it on either High Definition or in Ultra High Definition (UHD). All the plans mentioned are payable monthly.
