ENTREPRENEUR IN THE

FIELD OF ENTERTAINMENT

PROJECT 2

ENTERTAINMENT defines entertainment as a noun meaning :

the act of entertaining; agreeable occupation for the mind; diversion; amusement:something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement, especially a performance of some kind:

defines Entertainment as a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention.Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.

BREACH CANDY

CEO SPEAK2011 is going to be an interesting year for entertainment as companies work out plans to design content for the 3G space. While content makers are making tall claims in this space by just redoing existing content, from Films, TV and other Video formats, for mobile consumption - I believe that's very short sighted and Blinkered! Original content specially designed for the mobile keeping in mind the consumers 'snacking' habits is they key to cracking the DNA code for 3G. Entertainment play on 3G would be governed by four key factors: personalization - this device is mine and I do what I want on it; interactivity - the only screen that allows me to be a part of and even change the content offering; location based - it's the screen on the move so where I am moving matters; community - when I'm being entertained I'd love to be connected with my friends and others who share my passions.

It's not what I also get to see on theaters or my TV screen that will lure me to adopt 3G - we need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something new. Our observation is that consumption will come from the following: aggregated content may be 10 - 15%, massively repurposed content will be 35% - and by this I mean leveraging an existing brand like a film or a TV show to create something for the mobile and the rest will flow from original content and that alone. However content on 3G space will be very different from the content we deliver on a big screen or on TV. Today people perceive content essentially to be moving video, 3G will redefine this. It could be apps, video chats, destination services, a product and lots more.

Now that people have invested more than a couple of billion dollars in this space, bandwidth has been cleared and all telcos have got timelines so the dynamics of an equitable revenue share model will evolve over time. I believe they have already improved. It is imperative to bear in mind that whenever we are disseminating content on any other platform there is a substantial cost either of distribution or marketing or even both.

In the beginning I see more telcos going for exclusive deals with content providers as it will be the content that will be the big hook for bringing people onto 3G. However if the content is compelling - which is what we are working at - I don't see that scenario for more than a year, the consumer demand will make it cross operator.

This medium is a cracker as we are used to paying for it since day one and the payment mechanism is well established and transparent too. Most of us have been paying a meager sum for our cable connection, an average of Rs. 100 for 400 channels in a month and at no cost are we willing to pay anything extra there. At the same time, we are ok to pay an average of Rs. 30 to download a ringtone for a month. So this medium offers an excellent opportunity for subscription revenue rather than just being dependent on advertisers.

The concerns most people voice today is that while the mobile universe in India is really large most consumers would not have high end phones to enable 3G and my response on that would be that the adoption ratios in India for new phones has been phenomenal and even if we take 5% of the 600 million mobile user base as ones with 3G enables phones that chunk would be larger than the total mobile population of many countries.

Lets be the clear of the opportunity. Unfortunately lack of regulation in Cable TV has allowed the consumer to pay much less than what they need to for their 400 odd channels broadcasting per se has been suppressed from its true potential. 3G and soon thereafter 4G will reap huge benefits as the spend habit will start right and start from day one and the consumer will pay more. So in short Consumer spend for Content on 3G and 4G will be as large in just 3-4 years what the Broadcasting industry took 20 years to do.

At this moment we are gearing up with lots of variety of content to offer consumers multiple options to choose from and then take a pick on what's really working. The opportunity is immense and the time is now... to change the way the entertainment is consumed in India!

UTV started off as United Software Communications Pvt. Ltd. on 22 June 1990. They later went public and were renamed UTV Software Communications Ltd. in 1998.The UTV Group was incorporated as ‘United Television Software Communications Private limited’ on June 22, 1990; under the Companies Act, 1956 as a Private Limited Company. Subsequently, it became a deemed Public Limited Company and the word Private was deleted on November 27, 1995. It was renamed as ‘UTV Software Communications Limited’ with effect from March 19, 1998.At the time of incorporation in 1990, the group was primarily engaged in the production of television content for Doordarshan- Prasar Bharti and also production of ad films. In 1992, with the entry of satellite TV, ZEE TV commissioned the group for producing content of around 250 hours wherein it became one of the largest content providers. Around the same time, it also expanded into the businesses of in-flight entertainment programming and dubbing. In 1993, it ventured into the business of acquiring programs from outside producers and marketing airtime on their programs. In 1995, it launched a daily soap titled ‘Shanti.’In May 1995, it acquired 54.60% stake in Laezer Production Private Limited in order to enter into the area of post-production. Laezer Production Private Limited was incorporated on January 29, 1982. On becoming a deemed Public Limited Company, the word ‘Private’ was deleted on November 27, 1995. Subsequent to the acquisition of 54.60% stake by the UTV Group, Laezer Production Limited was renamed as UTV Studios Limited in December, 1995. At that point of time United Studios Limited (USL) was engaged in the business of providing post-production facilities to television software houses, private producers and advertisers.In 1998, the company's subsidiary USL took over Ram Mohan Biographies, an animation production house pioneered by Mr. Ram Monan, one of the leading animation artistes in the country. The animation division in USL was called RM-USL and thereafter was rechristened as UTV Toons and remained as a division of USL.

HISTORY

The company then diversified into broadcasting, by acquiring a controlling interest in Vijay Television Limited in November, 1998. Vijay Television Limited was incorporated on May 30, 1996 and operated Vijay TV, a 24-hour Tamil-language channel out of Chennai. The Udayar family of Chennai initially controlled Vijay Television as GEC channel since 1992. In 1995, United Breweries Group acquired the operational control of the channel and the name was changed to Vijay TV. The UTV Group acquired the controlling interest from United Breweries Group.In 1995-96, the company ventured into the movie distribution business.In 2000, it incorporated a group company called UTV Net Solutions Ltd. (UTV Net) in which it held an 86% stake. UTVNet was in the business of Internet content creation and aggregation, Indian regional language portals (with dual language content) and leveraging of their audio/video library rights for Internet usage. In 2000, UTVNet started the business of broadband content aggregation under the brand name sharkstream.com, through its subsidiary Sharkstream.com Pte. Ltd., Singapore.

In 2002-03, the group acquired the studio business of Western Outdoor Media Technologies Limited (WOMTL) in order to attain leadership position in the Post-Production, Special Effects and Animation business. The Studio operations of WOMTL were thus merged with the group’s post-production business.Since 2000-01, the UTV Group has initiated a corporate restructuring exercise in order to consolidate their holdings in certain group companies and subsidiaries. The objective of these exercises was to maximize shareholder value, remove conflict of interest and build a powerful combined entity.Between 2007 and 2011 UTV was targeted for acquisition by studios in the USA and the UK. Fuse Global, global media fund had approached and made several attempts to play a role in becoming a financier to the studio, but it never materialized for Asian media billionaire Keyur Patel who has also done similar large format deals in USA.

UTV Software Communications and Kishore Biyani's Future Group (Pantaloon Retail) are in talks to float a retail venture together. The blueprint for the project is to open Cafe Lounges as a brand extension to UTV's upcoming youth centric channel in June. The Cafe Lounges targeted at the youth will be a fusion of entertainment, gaming and a lounge where youngsters can relax. While UTV will use its strength in the entertainment and broadcasting space, the Future group will use its expertise in the retail domain to jump start this venture. The Cafe Lounges will be a brand extension of UTV's youth centric initiatives and will use these to attract the youth both in terms of footfalls to these outlets as well as to ensure eyeballs on the channel. Top sources at UTV said that work on this front has already begun, and placement agency sources also confirmed that UTV has started recruiting people from the retail and cafe space. An official UTV spokesperson refused to comment.

FUTURE SCENARIOwith FUTURE GROUP

UTV Motion Pictures, the leading Indian movie studio, and Prime Focus, the global visual entertainment services group, have announced a strategic alliance which will involve their close collaboration on a slate of future UTV Motion Pictures productions. Under this new partnership, Prime Focus takes responsibility for servicing the entire production and post production requirement of a slate of UTV's films, including visual effects, digital intermediate, sound and lab services, as well as provision of cameras, lenses and more.
