YuppTV delights video content creators with the launch of YuppTV Bazaar!

The one stop destination for premium video content

Mumbai, December 23, 2015: YuppTV, the world’s largest Over-The-Top (OTT) provider for Indian content, has launched YuppTV Bazaar, a marketplace for high-quality video content. The formal announcement, which took place on December 23 at JW Marriott in Juhu, Mumbai, was also attended by several dignitaries such as the Governor of Maharashtra. With the launch of YuppTV Bazaar, YuppTV will now host curated premium video content across various genres such as Education, Short Films, Web Series, and Trailers etc.

The move will be music to the ears of independent video content creators, who often find it tough to monetise and market their premium content through traditional video-sharing portals, satellite and DTH platforms. Through assured quality supervision and a large native user base, YuppTV bazaar will allow these entrepreneurs to showcase their high-quality videos on a trusted platform and reach out to an audience ranging in millions across the world through devices such as Smart TVs, smartphones, tablets & PCs.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Uday Reddy, Founder & CEO, YuppTV, commented, “With the proliferation of unregulated video content on the digital platform, content monetisation and visibility is a prime concern for premium video content creators who often find their content being lost in a deluge of casual user-generated content. YuppTV Bazaar is being launched as a solution that will overcome the traditional roadblocks associated with free-for-all video sharing platforms. We are confident that this development will be a major success and will empower content developers with the perfect medium to share and monetise their offerings.”

Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Vidyasagar Rao, added, “In today’s digital age, with technology having changed the way many industries operate today, YuppTV’s launch of its premium video content platform YuppTV Bazaar comes as a very welcome move. By providing a medium to independent creative content creators for showcasing their works, YuppTV has taken the spirit of entrepreneurship to a new level. I support the initiative wholeheartedly and wish YuppTV and YuppTV Bazaar all success.”

Abhishek Bachchan, who was also present at the launch, added, "India, at the moment, is brimming with talent looking for an outlet for their creativity. The launch of YuppTV Bazaar from YuppTV is a welcome move that will provide the indie moviemakers with a trusted and curated platform for showcasing their talent."

Since its India launch in October 2015, YuppTV has been creating ripples across the digital entertainment industry owing to its unique approach and extensive network. Today, YuppTV is the world’s largest internet TV and video on demand (VOD) streaming provider with more than 5 million mobile app downloads and an audience base reaching 400+ million households through Smart TVs.

2015: Roundup of Bollywood in Media

2015: Roundup of Bollywood in Media

Salman starrers Bajrangi Bhaijan & Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Top Featured Films Across Media

Mumbai: Calendar year 2015 saw Salman Khan starrers dominating all three forms of media – print, television and e-media. Bajrangi Bhaijan topped the charts followed by Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Tanu Weds Manu 2 and ABCD 2 in the second, third and fourth spot respectively.

“While Print and TV drove Bajrangi Bhaijan’s visibility among all top movies, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo had a more fluctuating breakout. It topped all movies in the web space and managed to retain the second spot in print, but lagged to the third spot in TV. Tanu Weds Manu 2 ranked third overall, but managed to pip Prem Ratan Dhan Payo to the second spot in Internet visibility,” says Ashutosh, Founder & CEO, Kanalytics, the firm that conducted the research.

Launched as India’s first comprehensive trans media intelligence tool by media honcho Ashutosh and Bollywood singer Kailash Kher, Kanalytics uses a proprietary technology based platform to map the presence of brands across media including print, television and the digital space. It uses algorithms to measure the context they have been presented in and the tone and tenor used to describe them both by the traditional as well as the digital media.

For Bajrangi Bhaijan, Salman Khan grabbed 28.4% of total media attention. Of the total write ups in print media, Salman’s share was 47% against 31% in the e-media. Karishma Kapoor trailed him with a share of 16 and 15% in print and e-media respectively. “Interestingly, child Artist Harshaali grabbed more attention than Nawazuddin. Apart from actor related stories, box office collection based stories drove Bajrangi Bhaijaan visibility. This was followed by music and marketing stories,” says Ashutosh.

“If we were to summarize 2015, Bollywood coverage was singlehandedly dominated by Salman Khan. Among movies that did not feature Salman Khan, the lead actresses, in contrast, dominated coverage. In Tanu Weds Manu 2 Kangana Ranaut grabbed 44% media attention against R Madhavan’s 16% and Shraddha Kapoor led with 33% against Varun Dhavan’s 31% in print and TV in ABCD 2. Also interesting to note was that by and large industry coverage was positive. A negligible 1% coverage was devoted to negative or controversial stories, Bajrangi Bhaijan being the only notable exception grabbing some negative buzz. Box office and other cast stories were also key driver for movies in 2015. But here too, Bajarangi Bhaijaan bucked the trend with music related stories getting a fair share of the exposure,” concludes Ashutosh.
