Anuj Gandhi Group CEO, Indiacast

Indian content for its high quality production, gripping stories, universal emotional hooks and fresh presentation has created a niche market in many parts of the world, IndiaCast Group CEO Anuj Gandhi shares how this feat was accomplished 30

ndiaCast is India’s first multi-platform ‘Content Asset Monetization’ entity, jointly owned by TV18 & Viacom18. Its content library boasts of over 15,000 hours of content across genres from its network channels that spread such as General Entertainment, Music, Youth & Lifestyle, News, & Infotainment in multiple languages. Apart from Television shows & series, IndiaCast also distributes Indian feature films (both Bollywood & regional) on digital & traditional platforms in India and overseas markets.

What is IndiaCast’s focus and objective at MIPCOM 2015?

The International syndication business is growing at a very healthy pace for us in the last three years. MIPCOM as a market has contributed significantly towards that growth. At MIPCOM 2015, our objective is to our existing content partners and to establish strategic alliances with new partners.

IndiaCast syndicates content in over 100 countries in multi-languages. How this growth came about?

Our content has universal appeal which has helped us enter many new markets across the globe. We have strengthened the position of our channels in many key markets, both on the distribution as well as advertising sales front; developed many significant partnerships for syndication in several non-traditional territories

and inked landmark deals with several global digital and OTT platforms.

Our business has seen a dynamic rise on all fronts of linear channel distribution and content distribution via syndication.

We have managed to achieve this by tapping all mediums of content distribution vehicles so that our shows are available to potential viewers globally.

What are your views on content riding for revenues in OTT and video on Demand and streaming platforms?

We are living in exciting times our viewers are gravitating towards consuming content on-the-move. People are not dependent on television alone to watch their favourite shows. With the advent of affordable smartphones and their penetration into smaller markets, along with inexpensive / customised cell phone data plans, the demand for instant-on-the go-content has raised manifold, thereby charting out revenue opportunities. This increase in demand from viewers across the globe has thus opened up larger avenues of syndication opportunities.

ma) will continue to be well received in these markets. These shows are a perfect blend of high pitch emotions, epic dramas and romance, which is synonymous to the telenovela culture in the region. We have also recently clinched our presence in Africa with one of the biggest distribution platforms and thus are now excited to establish strategic alliances and business opportunities in the growing market of Latin America. We have taken the first leap into this territory by appointing a renowned local representative for syndication of our content. We are also investing in dubbing our bestselling series ‘Balika Vadhu’ in Spanish and have tied up with one of the top dubbing houses in Mexico.

I am confident that our content will create a programming space which will be both unique and habitual in such markets.

What attracts Indian content as a genre in the world today?

Our content is symbolic of the core culture and diversity of India, whereas our approach has always been global. ‘Indian-ness’ appeals magnificently across the

Meet IndiaCast @ Stand: P-1.E73 Tell us your experience about creating new markets for Indian content.

Is Latin America an emerging market for Indian content?

Our drama series has proven to be extremely successful in every market that we have licensed to, especially Eastern European countries (Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia among others), CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia); and markets like Pakistan, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Canada, Mauritius, Israel, Sri Lanka, Caribbean, Singapore and Afghanistan.

High quality production, gripping stories, universal emotional hooks and fresh presentation have resulted in our dramas creating a brand new market for Indian content per se in many parts of the world.

After establishing our presence successfully in the East European markets, CIS & Asian countries, we have begun, and will continue to distribute many of our leading drama series in the Latin American market. We are confident that our bestselling series ‘Balika Vadhu’( The Young Bride), Uttaran (Second Hand), Beintehaa (Endless Love), Madhubala (TV dra-

Our network’s flagship channel ‘Colors’ has been a category definer in the Hindi entertainment genre and is known for bringing in the most differentiated drama series. Our shows encapsulate social messages which are relevant to most cultures across the world. ‘Balika Vadhu’, ‘Uttaran’ (Second hand), ‘Ashoka’ (The Great Emperor), ‘Udann’ (A Leap of hope) are some of our path-breaking series in India as well as on international grounds. Our in-house productions (from MTV India) have built iconic shows like ‘Roadies’ & ‘Splitsvilla’. These shows have become cult properties in India and the formats are also being considered by many international production houses.

We have had positive feedback on our content’s universal appeal that touches the hearts of millions of viewers across regions.

Revealed-Rann of Kutch (Discovery Channel)

What have been Discovery Networks’ major milestones in the South Asia region in the last decades?

Discovery Networks has been delivering unmatched entertainment experience to the Indian audience for the past 20 years. We have been widely recognised and respected for our high-quality content and unique offerings. We have expanded our portfolio three times over the last five years and take pride in our strong and well entrenched brands.

Each channel launch was aimed at offering new and distinct entertainment experience to the Indian viewers.

We expanded the definition of factual entertainment by launching Animal Planet in 1998 which presented wildlife programming.

When we launched India’s first international lifestyle channel – TLC, viewers announced their liking for it almost overnight. It was a strong inflection point for the burgeoning Indian television market. The entire industry, including the advertisers and affiliate, took note of the refreshing content and what it meant to viewers.

The aspiring, well-travelled and globally active Indian viewer demanded more unique content,–24-hours, 365 days a year. Therefore, we launched two successful media brands from our global portfolio– Discovery Turbo and Discovery Science in 2010.

We entered the Hindi entertainment genre with the launch of India’s first Hindi entertainment channel dedicated to true stories of mystery, investigation and suspense – ID. Filling in the gap for meaningful entertainment we launched Discovery Kids delivering SMART FUN programming to millions of kids in India.

We are committed to the Indian market and will continue to present the best brands, content and finest viewing experience to India.

We have expanded our penetration in the country with our localisation strategy.

In the last 20 years, Discovery has pioneered factual entertainment in India with the launch of Discovery Channel in 1995 and introduced a refreshing new wave of programming that has completely changed the viewer’s expectations from television.

One of the high points has been the encouraging feedback from the viewers on our content. The success of our language strategy was immensely satisfying as it brought the viewer in every corner of the country closer to Discovery.

Having unmatched access to produce shows of remarkable statures like Rashtrapati Bhavan, National Defence Academy in India and present them to the Indian audience and around the world is extremely gratifying.

tering to distinct viewer segments is a testimony of the value our brand offers and the trust it enjoys among its core audience.

As we move to the multi-screen consumption, will the viewer get the same delivery experience of TV in digital medium? What trends do you see in online viewing in India?

It is the golden age of television with respect to content, innovative formats and consumption – both on-air and off-line.

In a cluttered television environment, it is essential to gain competitive advantage by offering distinct value to your audience. This approach has encouraged us to further expand our portfolio in various genres like factual, lifestyle, kids, investigation, wildlife and men’s entertainment. In the last five years, we have launched eight specialised channels to suit tastes and preferences of Indian viewers.

While the consumption of content on different devices is increasing, it cannot replace the experience of a television screen. I believe, with new developments in technology and content formats, television will remain mainstay.

from a national entertainment channel Discovery to an urban lifestyle channel TLC and from children catering network Discovery Kids to the super premium Discovery HD bouquet. Despite hundred plus channels being launched every year in India, we have been able to lead in the respective genres through our commitment to deliver on the brand promise.

Our mission anywhere in the world is to satisfy the curiosity of the viewer. We have stayed true to that mission in our strategy, offering and engagement with the viewer independent of the demographic and geographic limitations. We will continue to offer the finest blend of local and international content making it relevant and relatable for the viewer.

Have you benefited from cable digitisation currently in progress in India?

What do you expect from 3rd and 4th phase digitisation?

Discovery has a pan-India presence and is watched by everyone from the smallest village to the largest city. The aspirations of Indians are the same everywhere, whether in Tier I, II or III cities.

In fact, we have witnessed that the youth from smaller cities is even more curious to discover and explore. A testament to this: our channels are available in 267 million households across India.

tertaining way that will create your hold over the audience but the relevance of the story to the viewer in his language, with his/ her people discussing things that are for him is what makes all the difference. We have acknowledged that and have consciously moved from genre to genre discussing matter that is localised and personalised.

Discovery channels are in five Indian languages (English, Hindi, Tamil Telugu and Bangla). Which is the number one language feed in India and why?

What are the trends in viewership in India? Have you benefited from localisation?

In a country as diverse as India, we realised early that we needed to cater to our audiences in the language they spoke.

Localisation and language has been an important part of our strategy to reach out to viewers across regions and markets in India. The move has helped us gain viewership and establish a strong foothold in these markets.

We receive high attraction from Hindi speaking viewers across India. Considering the diversity of population in the country and demand for dubbed content, we launched parallel language feeds in Tamil, Telugu and Bangla. However, the viewership pattern in Tamil Nadu and rest of India is contrasting. Our consistent research, viewers’ feedback and unique viewership pattern in Tamil Nadu suggested demand for customised product offering in the market and we launched a 24-hour factual entertainment channel – Discovery Tamil. Our network Discovery Kids is also available in English, Hindi and Tamil.

Regarding the millennials, I would say that the Indian viewers are a curious lot.

Today’s youth is extremely keen to ex-

plore the world, especially programmes on new discoveries, latest developments in science and technology, survival and adventure and topical subjects.

What has been the trend in creating original content for the South Asia region for the Discovery Network?

India productions and local programming will continue to remain Discovery’s focus. The fact is that India offers unparalleled diversity and there are stories waiting to be told in each part of the country. As Discovery, the company would like to tell these stories in the most interesting and engaging way possible.

Discovery has upped the Indian content on its channels producing over 100 hours in the last two years. Over a period of time, Discovery Channel has presented some new and path-breaking India productions such as ‘REVEALED: RANN OF KUTCH’ that showcased the region’s geology, history, culture, people and wildlife. A first ever, start-to-finish account of the staggering logistical feat of putting together the world’s largest election was presented in ‘REVEALED: WORLD’S BIGGEST ELECTION’. Also, revealed lesser known facts behind Humayun’s Tomb in ‘REVEALED: HUMAYUN’S TOMB’. The programme narrated the majestic story behind the life of the Mughal Emperor Humayun and his dynasty.

Where do you see revenues diversifying going forward -- from advertising and subscription…

to enjoy advertisers’ confidence and respect. We have strived very hard to offer distinct audience segments for different product categories. We have one of the largest client portfolios on our network.

On digitisation, we are absolutely delighted that it is bringing positive results for the viewer and for other stakeholders including the broadcasters. We believe that the networks that are investing in their content and differentiating their brands will continue to reap benefits.

Discovery Kids in India is more an Indian channel than a global network in the kids genre. Has this strategy worked penetrating in this kids channel space in India?

Kids’ genre is a mature genre. Over 370 million kids under the age of 14 are discerning and demand variety, new concepts and characters. It therefore, becomes our duty to react and respond to the need of kids with exciting and engaging content 24 hours a day in the language they relate to and understand.

Acknowledged as a refreshing and game changing channel, Discovery Kids has built strong affinity amongst viewers, advertisers and affiliates. Its India production ‘KISNA’ is a brand defining series that captures the core values of offering SMART entertainment. Produced by the prolific filmmaker Ketan Mehta, Kisna is an enchanting story of an extraordinary little hero of Anandnagri based on the age-old traditions of the victory of good over evil.

definition portfolio to three differentiated HD channels – Discovery HD World, Animal Planet HD World and TLC HD World.

Our HD channels are unique gold standard channels with programming scheduled as per viewers’ demands and not a duplicate feed. They are the industry benchmark and provide our advertiser and trade partners a premium platform.

What’s Discovery’s take on OTT and video on demand?

We are open to new ways of engaging with our viewers and presenting our content, but are careful not to leak our content outside of the pay TV ecosystem.

Discovery in recent times has scaled its presence in general entertainment and sports. Will it look at these genres in India?

India is a priority market in our overall scheme of things. In the last few years, we expanded our business on all parameters: new channels, new language feeds, India productions, availability across analogue and digital households, impetus to ad sales and high-decibel marketing. Each of the channels has received encouraging response.

We would continue to assess the viewership patterns, and would make relevant moves accordingly.

How do you see expansion in Indian market in the next three to five years?

We will continue to invest on all three fronts - programming, distribution and marketing, to increase the channels’ viewership.

With many milestones achieved, the company is hungry for more with exciting new productions in the pipeline, says Tapaas Chakravarti, Chairman and CEO DQ Entertainment (International) 42

How has been 2015 for DQ Entertainment? What is your objective and focus at MIPCOM 2015 and what are the co-productions currently in the pipeline at DQE? We are happy that we hit the right checkpoints in 2015!

Significant production and distribution milestones have been achieved. The first season of ‘Miles from Tomorrow Land’, animated at DQ is currently on air on Disney Junior, USA and we have started prestigious productions such as ‘Popples’ by Saban, USA and ‘Seven Dwarfs and Me’, a coproduction with Method Animation, with DQ producing high quality CG animation integrated with live action sequences to produce a ‘hybrid’ show.

Another milestone has been the premier of DQ produced ‘The Jungle Book’ series on Discovery Family Channel, USA. The series has been immensely successful resulting in our long standing partners supporting us for multiple seasons. This has been a huge validation of the quality of production by our teams in India and France.

DQ is announcing exciting new productions at MIPCOM, with international partners. We will present the pilot of a new series based on ‘Pio The Chick’ that became a hit radio song and then a viral web phenomenon through a series of remixes that made it into the singles charts in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands

Broadcasters are increasingly viewing OTT delivery as both an additional channel of distribution and an added revenue stream and various other European countries. It has generated more than 1.2 billion combined hits on YouTube to date in various languages. The series to be produced along with RAI Com and Gruppo Alcuni, Italy, will soon to go into production.

Do you see broadcasting getting impacted by OTT, video streaming and new emerging digital platforms specifically for animation content?

What’s driving animation business today?

OTT, video streaming and emerging digital platforms have already impacted the broadcast space. They are vying for the same piece of the pie and viewerships are bound to get divided. However, the impact for animated content for children is less compared to content for higher age groups and family audiences. Broadcasters are increasingly viewing OTT delivery as both an additional channel of distribution and an added revenue stream. They are integrating this delivery platform into their own programming and delivery mechanisms, which is inevitable.

Also is there any impact of pre-school programming for animation in the broadcast space?

Pre-school content delivery is seeing a substantial shift to online platforms since parents control the choice of content . Moving away from pre- determined programming by networks, OTT pro-

43

pickle entertainment biz guide

Pickle_October_2015_Inner Pages.indd 43

vides the flexibility for parents to choose content that is not only entertaining but educational too.

Do you still see business in Television broadcast?

Yes of course, and as I said before, broadcasters are using these alternate delivery platforms to deliver their content. They have embraced the new technologies and are laying a lot of focus to integrate these distribution platforms to supplement their existing channels.

How has DQE embraced digital distribution? Is there a DQE App on the anvil?

Our Online delivery platforms PowerKids and TinyToonz have gathered a captive and dedicated audience and revenues have been consistent. Plans are afoot to develop content for online delivery, separate from the traditional production and delivery models.

Do you see animation content top on the radar of OTT? Not just animation content. Key areas for niche OTT growth include sports, kids, anime, foreign shows and movies, ethnic content, and shows created by a single celebrity, such as a politician or comedian.

The OTT market is expected to reach USD 8-12 billion in the next few years.

OTT is leading to a boom in demand for good quality and niche content, which is going through the roof.

VEDATMA @ MIPCOM

All Set to Change Global Media “The one sure thing that we hope to achieve at MIPJUNIOR & MIPCOM is our IP ‘AETIUS-The Eagle Kid’ taking off to the world,” says B S Srinivas, CEO VedAtma Animation Studios in a chat with Pickle B S Srinivas CEO, VedAtma Animation Studios

What is your objective and focus at MIPCOM 2015?

The main objective of visiting MIPJUNIOR & MIPCOM apart from global exposure, is to look for co-productions, investors, distributors, broadcasters to develop our IPs & offshore work providers.

How has been year 2015 for VedAtma Animation Studios?

The year has been very encouraging for us at VedAtma Animation Studios. Apart from executing various projects for our clients across the world in various areas like entertainment, edutainment, medical, logistics, finance, aviation etc., we have started developing our own IP ‘AETIUS-The Eagle Kid’ and have been a part of Indian delegations representing Karnataka’s Animation & VFX industry to Annecy Film Festival, France & Gwangju ACE Fair, Korea.

What are the key strengths of VedAtma in content creative and services?

Are you focusing IP creation or service work?

The key strength of VedAtma lies in the fact that it provides the best of all worlds,

46

Pickle_October_2015_Inner Pages.indd 46

offering exemplary imaging services, cutting-edge state-of-the-art animation technologies, diversified cultural compatibility and conducive management techniques.

At VedAtma Animation Studios, we have a sincere and dedicated team of highly skilled and creative people working endlessly with a passionate aspiration to change the face of the global media and entertainment industry with the use of traditional and digital 2D Animation, 3D Animation and other Post Production processes.

Though the focus is on creating global IPs, we are also in the ever-demanding area of services & are able to successfully perform in both the domains.

You have been the international markets in recent times. What has been your experience? What is the one sure thing that you would want to achieve at MIPCOM 2015?

Our recent presence in the international markets by participating in the Annecy Film Festival, France & Gwangju ACE Fair, South Korea have given us tremendous exposure in understanding the glob-

VedAtma Animation Studios is at MIPCOM to pitch for their new IP ‘AETIUS-The Eagle Kid’ that is currently being developed and scout for co-production partners

al animation markets and have set the right path for us to explore opportunities in aligning with animation studios from different countries for mutual growth.

The one sure thing that we hope to achieve by MIPJUNIOR & MIPCOM is our IP ‘AETIUS-The Eagle Kid’ taking off to the world. Apart from this, we are looking to co-partner with various studios in executing quality world class projects.

What is the state of the Indian animation sector? Recently the state of Karnataka, India. has come out with business friendly policies for the animation and VFX space. Has this benefited the industry?

Indian animation sector is poised for unprecedented growth in the days to come.

It has been regarded as one of the biggest & fastest growing animation industries in the world. There will be an increase in revenues and employment generation because of the increasing ownership of intellectual property by Indians in animation, gaming and the visual effect sector.

Karnataka has been the first state to have an AVGC policy of its own which has been of late followed by a couple of other states. The government is very supportive and has been backing various initiatives for the benefits of the industry by introducing upgraded policies and schemes which have encouraged existing and new players to look forward to a bright future.

VedAtma also manages Arena animation in Bangalore. How has been the skill training and employability at your place?

Our education arm–Arena Animation – of which we run two of the biggest franchisee centres in Bangalore & Karnataka for the last 17 years, has nurtured more than 15,000 animators. It has consistently been producing quality animators &

47

Pickle_October_2015_Inner Pages.indd 47

VFX artists thereby contributing to the ever demanding job requirements of the industry. Having training and production facilities under the same roof, we have created an ecosystem where academics and production coexist to prepare students to take on the challenges posed by production studios for job ready animators.

Our placement cell has been working hard to overlook the employability of our students and has successfully held various campus recruitment drives thereby creating an unique identity for itself.

How do you see the business of animation in the multi screen consumption times?

Animated content, though having a large kids’ audience, has the stuff to engage the older age groups too. So, interested audience of animated content would still go in search of the same irrespective of it being among choices of multi screens.

Animation business would in fact be benefited during these times of multi screen consumption though the competition would be tough from other genre of films.

Good quality animated films would survive these tough times which has been proven by the revenues generated in recent times.

India doesn’t have a public broadcaster for kids content but the domestic industry is pushing for this. Are you in favour of this move?

Having a public broadcaster in our country would definitely boost the future of animated content in India and would encourage our studios to produce content keeping the local and regional flavour in mind provided their efforts are rewarded by the right commercial agreements.

This move would definitely benefit the animation industry in our country and we support this move.
