Questions we've answered for
media clients.

These are the actual questions clients bring to us. We've answered some version of each of them, multiple times, across multiple geographies.

What is the real willingness to pay for a premium OTT subscription in Indian Tier 2 cities — and will the price-sensitive mass market ever generate the ARPU the business model requires?
We're a global streaming platform entering South Asia. Which language market gives us the fastest subscriber payback, and what content investment is required to be taken seriously?
Our mobile game has 4M downloads but ₹2 per user per month monetisation. Tell us whether the problem is the monetisation model, the player segment, the genre, or the IP.
We're acquiring a digital media company at 5x revenue. How real is the advertiser concentration, what is the programmatic vs direct mix, and what happens if one large advertiser leaves?
Who will capture India's sports streaming rights market in 2028 — global platforms, domestic broadcasters, or social media giants — and which rights category is still underpriced?
Our creator agency has 200 talent but 80% revenue from 12 creators. Tell us whether to invest in talent diversification, brand partnerships, or own-IP development — and what the data says.
