Media & Telecommunications

Media and telecommunications revolutionised entertainment in the 20th century, and the industry continues to grow rapidly even today. The industry spans several forms of entertainment, including film, television, print, digital, and music. In India alone, the media and entertainment (M&E) sector is projected to achieve revenues of up to US $19 billion by 2022, a growth of 27%. In recent years, the digital media space has seen meteoric growth in both consumer base and revenue. Indian digital media has seen an upsurge of as much as 35% in their paid subscriber base across streaming and OTT platforms in 2020. According to the analysts, India is likely to emerge as the world’s sixth-largest streaming market by 2024.
