Behind the ‘larger-than-life’ image of Baahubali lies another facet of Rana Daggubati — that of a suave businessman. He has struck a balance between box-office success and critical acclaim and credits this to his love for stories. Apart from being an actor across Tollywood and Bollywood alike, he is also a TV show host who is in tune with the industry's pulse. His passion for tech also means he is ahead of the curve when it comes to creating new ventures. Rana believes that Virtual Reality (VR) offers a lot of potential, and he wants to explore this space more. While he is also responsible for new media at one of South India’s most famous studios, Suresh Productions, he also partnered with Anthill Studios – an accelerator programme for tech startups dedicated to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/baahubali-star-rana-daggubati-and-anthill-ventures-selects-7-consumer-brand-startups-for-its-mentorship-programme/articleshow/73958643.cms">media, entertainment industry. </a> In the last seven months, Rana has been charting new paths for his production house.

At the Global Trends event, Rana will speak about the future of storytelling. While his movie Baahubali has set a trend of good quality visual effects, Indian movie-making has only scratched the surface in this department. His keen interest in technology and the many hats he dons as a producer, actor, and studio owner puts him in a unique position to drive the new wave of digital change in the industry.

While many believe that OTTs and their convenience, especially during the covid pandemic, could leave theatre seats empty, actor and producer <keyword id="84792" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rana-Daggubati">Rana Daggubati</keyword> believes that the theatres aren't going anywhere. As a man who dons hats from both sides – an actor and producer, his family also owns one of the biggest and oldest production houses in South India, Daggubati said the two platforms are different and will co-exist. Speaking at the Business Insider Global Trends Festival 2020, Daggubati said that as humans we come from a generation of spectacle and the theatre will continue to be there as a place where you want to see the world in a very large format and be immersed. “Today, theatre technology, whether its 3D or IMAX has also become more immersive,” he said. Daggubati breaks it down for us and says it’s the content that will decide which platform it will go to. “Cinema that is made specifically for the theatre will continue to exist within a limited time – for two-three hours and any drama which is driven towards a longer storytelling, the OTT will be the way to go,” he said. And it will all be on the hands of the consumer. “You’ll be very defined even as a consumer what you go to the theatre for and what you would consume on OTT,” he said. India’s entertainment industry and the influence of OTT Despite the pandemic, a recent report by PwC said that the Indian Entertainment and Media Industry is expected to grow at 10.1% CAGR to reach $55 billion by 2024. The COVID pandemic kept theatres in India shut for over six months, and after the initial resistance from OTT releases, big Bollywood names started to make their way to platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ Hotstar. And even though theatres have opened up across the country, no major release has been released in the cinemas yet as people still seem to be skeptical of visiting them. And this has led to a jump in consumption and number of subscribers in the Indian OTT space. According to the PwC report, India’s OTT market is on track to become the sixth largest in the world beating the OTT revenue from countries like South Korea, Germany and Australia. “Subscription video on demand will be the prime driver of revenue, increasing at a 30.7% CAGR from $708 million in 2019 to $2.7 billion in 2024,” said the report..

His eponymous app provides deep and catchy insights on syllabi and delivers it digitally. During the pandemic, his first-mover advantage has been paying off very well. While parents and teachers alike struggle to gain young students' attention, Byjus has hit a homerun long back. On its early learning app, they are taught by Frozen's Anna, Moana, and Lion King's Simba, after the former struck a deal with Disney. As a young student who 'enjoyed' studying and solving Math problems, Byju created this content to bring Indian students out of the rut of rote learning and memorizing. This philosophy has over 4.5 million takers who are paid users on his app. Now one of India's youngest billionaires, Raveendran, is all set for a meteoric rise as his subscriber base jumped <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/byjus-onboards-new-investors-edtech-decacorns-paid-subscriber-base-jumps-by-a-million-in-a-month/articleshow/78267761.cms">by a million during the lockdown</a>. In April, Byjus clocked in a massive <a href="https://yourstory.com/2020/06/byjus-founders-edtech-covid-19-startup">Rs 350 crore in revenue</a>, despite offering free access to its content. Raveendran had hoped that this amount would only double in the months to come. Byju's is also the second-highest valued Indian startup with an $11 billion valuation after having raised over a billion dollars in this year alone. But the best of the times are yet to come.

She started Biocon at the age of 25 and has built it up into the country's largest pharmaceutical company. Her journey to the top was no easy task, but Shaw is known for her thinking and vision. Shaw could foresee the potential and opportunity in the biotech space, and she capitalised on it. Shaw calls herself an "accidental entrepreneur." She wanted to become India's first woman brewmaster. When those plans met with resistance in India, she set her sights on the industrial enzyme-producing business and marched on to conquer the biopharma space in the 90s. In 2014, Biocon was India's first biotech company to go public, and it hit the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/indias-second-richest-woman-kiran-mazumdar-shaw-nearly-doubles-her-wealth-to-4-6-billion-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/articleshow/78569565.cms">$1 billion mark</a> on the day it listed. There has been no looking back since. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw believes that women play an essential role in economic development, and their contribution has been ignored for a long time. "It's a myth to think that women are not bold enough to run daring businesses. It's a myth that all of us have busted time. So, I'm really surprised that the world still doesn't get it," she told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/kiran-mazumdar-shaw-wanted-to-be-a-brewmaster-before-founding-the-largest-biotech-company-in-india/articleshow/74508921.cms">Twitter </a>in an interview earlier this year. A pioneer of the biotech industry in India, Shaw has been conferred upon with Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan. She believes that entrepreneurship is not about making the moolah but having a purpose, and one must always think about giving back to society. In fact, Shaw can tell the Covid-19 story as a survivor and a healer. After all, she has the first-hand experience — as the 67-year old tested positive in mid-August and recovered by the end of the month. And her $7 billion company, Biocon's repurposed drug, Itolizumab, is used to treat the dreaded virus for emergency cases. However, the drug is not a part of the government's clinical management protocol for COVID-19 treatment yet. At the Global Trends Festival 2020, Shaw will share insights on why entrepreneurs must be risk-takers, her journey as a businesswoman, and unlocking India's suppressed potential.

After the pandemic, many sports properties have either been cancelled or postponed, directly affecting India’s ad revenue and sponsorship pie. While India’s most worshipped sport, cricket, still dominates viewership and sponsorship, <keyword id="3132005" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sony-Pictures-Network">Sony Pictures Network</keyword> (SNP) has given its fans more choices between sporting events and SonyLiv has given them options in terms of what, when and how much to watch, leading to a rise in demand for subscription viewing in live sports. After a long, dry spell, millions of Indians are expected to tune into Tokyo Olympics this year. Sponsors and brands have also started seeing the Olympics as the one occasion to capitalise on the media and consumer attention. As a result, Sony Sports has seen an uptick in demand from sponsors and advertisers across categories for the summer games. To help its advertisers get the best bang for their buck, SPN launched an ‘innovative’ advertising format ‘Split-screen ads,’ which has <a href="https://twitter.com/Archit_0106/status/1418542834395729923">gained </a><a href="https://twitter.com/PrashantMUFC/status/1420988968238161920">mixed </a><a href="https://twitter.com/LifeIsAnElation/status/1418552243893116935">reviews </a>on social media.

Their performances are celebrated as it is a huge thing to even get to participate, let alone winning a medal at Olympics. More and more business houses/organizations/brands have started promoting various athletes and or Indian contingent. Sports in India is growing dramatically as an entertainment option beyond just cricket. This year.

Sony Sports has collaborated with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports as well as eminent personalities and joining the brigade are Union Minister for I&amp;B and Youth Affairs &amp; Sports, Shri Anurag Thakur, General Bipin Rawat, Chief of Defence Staff and Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee and Mr. N.P.

This once-in-a-four-year sports event attracts eyeballs from across the world hosting sports such as shooting, wrestling, long jump, and hockey. Which sport do you think will perform the best in India in terms of viewership?</cmsannotation> We expect great Sports like Wrestling, Shooting, Archery and Hockey, which have also done extremely well on TV in the past, due to the medal winning performances by Indian Athletes. Additionally, there has been high interest to watch Athletics and Gymnastics, owing to the visually engaging nature of the sports. During the 2016 Rio Olympics, Badminton had the highest viewership owing to PV Sindhu winning a silver medal. The final match between PV Sindhu and Carolina Marin was watched by 42 million viewers across the country. This year, we have our largest contingent ever of 127 athletes travelling to Tokyo and the whole nation will want to support and watch our athletes in the various sports disciplines they are competing in like boxing, wrestling, tennis, athletics, badminton, hockey, shooting, archery, weightlifting, Equestrian, Table tennis and more. Some of the athletes that the audiences are already looking out for are Manu Bhaker and Saurabh Chaudhary in shooting, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia in wrestling, Amit Panghal and Mary Kom in boxing, Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das, PV Sindu in badminton and more. Also, for the first time, we will see participation in fencing with Bhavani Devi and Fouaad Mirza making it to the equestrian event which will also attract audiences. Additionally, to reach out to a wider audience and engage viewers across India, Sony Sports will have a Live wraparound studio show called SPORTS EXTRAAA with a distinguished panel that comprising former Olympians and legendary Indian athletes like Vijender Singh, Gagan Narang, Karnam Malleswari, Anjali Bhagwat, Anju Bobby George, Sakshi Malik, Viren Rasquinha, Somdev Devvarman, Trupti Murgunde, Rahul Banerjee, Kripa Shankar and Satish Shivalingam. We will also have the world-renowned Sprinter and four-time Olympic medalist, Yohan Blake, considered to be the second fastest man after Usain Bolt as a marquee expert on the show. The comprehensive coverage for the global event will be broadcast LIVE in four languages: SONY TEN 2 and SONY SIX channels in English, SONY TEN 3 channels in Hindi and in Tamil &amp; Telugu on the newly launched SONY TEN 4 channels. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Q.

How do brands get to benefit from advertising on Olympics through Sony this year? What is your advice to brands who are advertising? How can they get the best bang for their buck?</cmsannotation> The Olympic Games is an extremely premium global sporting event, the greatest show on earth with 200+ countries, 11000+ athletes across 339 events in 33 different sports, encompassing a total of 50 disciplines. As I mentioned earlier, this year, we have rolled out the grandest campaign for this showcase event involving 30+ luminaries across the country. The sheer association to the Olympics for any brand will create and drive great brand perception and awareness value. We have offered value-based propositions to our clients and have ensured that we amplify their associations with athletes in the Indian contingent which they might be sponsoring. The brands have also been given the opportunity to ride on the back of the amazing build- up programming which we have locally produced adding to the brands association and visibility. Series like “Torch bearers” are resonating well with our audiences. We are also excited to offer a new breakthrough innovation “Split Screen” advertisement opportunity during the live broadcast. This will help the brands break away from the clutter and amplifies the brand’s visibility manifold without intruding into the viewing experiences of our audiences. This new technology is a game changer and will surely get the best ROI for our key sponsors. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Q. How do you think sports marketing has changed in India in the last few years? Any interesting trends that you are expecting to see as we move forward?" text="Q.

How do you think sports marketing has changed in India in the last few years? Any interesting trends that you are expecting to see as we move forward?</cmsannotation> While Indian Cricket will dominate viewership and revenues, Sony Sports has been consistently making efforts to massify and popularize other sports. Sony Sports is a global multi-sporting arena and sports marketing here, is not only talks to the purists but also focuses on attracting fence-sitters and newer audiences to join the Sony Sports community. This has paid off and every year our viewership for sports like WWE, UFC, football properties like UEFA Champions League and non-India cricket is steadily growing. Even the recently concluded UEFA EURO 2020 on our sports channels has seen massive growth compared to the last edition in 2016 by almost 70% Sports as an entertainment quotient is only going to grow.
