Mumbai, More people signed up for <keyword id="19925152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="prime-video" source="keywords">Prime Video</keyword> in India than any other country outside of the US in recent years, Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios <keyword id="20143672" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mike-hopkins" source="keywords">Mike Hopkins</keyword> has said. India is one of the key geographies for Amazon, <keyword id="21019964" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hopkins" source="keywords">Hopkins</keyword> said on Tuesday at a star-studded Prime Video Presents event here that saw the announcement of the streamer's 2024 slate of 69 projects including shows, movies, documentaries and returning titles across languages and regions. "I have a couple of stats to just explain how things are going here. The first one is that for the last several years, outside of the US, more people have signed up for Prime in India than anywhere else in the world. That's pretty good growth. "The other thing about India is that more people started subscribing to Prime Video here than any other benefit... In the last year, India had the highest percentage of Prime members stream Prime Video than any other country in the world," Hopkins said during a chat with event host <keyword id="19901337" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="karan-johar" source="keywords">Karan Johar</keyword>. "We look at that next 250 million subscribers that we're going to acquire, which are definitely going to come from outside the United States. We're not going to be able to achieve that unless we do a really good job for customers in India, so India is a key geography for us," Hopkins said. He also spoke about the exponential growth that streaming has had in India despite being in the market only for the last few years. Hopkins said "Farzi", "Indian Police Force" and "The Family Man" are among the shows that have worked well internationally. "I've heard many people say this week that more people are streaming TV. And they're watching it on linear television and satellite... What's remarkable about it is that streaming has only really existed for seven or eight years," he said. According to Hopkins, Indian content is making its presence felt on a global level. Last year, he said, Indian titles were watched in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. He said that while the streamer commissions programming in different parts of the world, the core philosophy has always been that the content should first work with the audience it is made for. "(In India,) we've really knocked it out of the park. Some of the shows that are working the best for us internationally are 'Farzi', 'Indian Police Force', 'The Family Man' and many more. So we couldn't be more thrilled with what's going on here." The India slate announcement featured returning titles such as "Mirzapur 3", "Panchayat 3" and "Pataal Lok 2" as well as new shows and movies like "Call Me Bae", "Be Happy" and "<keyword id="20354241" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="subedar" source="keywords">Subedar</keyword>". The slate also featured titles such as "Citadel: Honey Bunny", "Daldal", which marks Bhumi Pednekar's OTT debut, Ankur Tewari and Swanand Kirkire-created "Bandwale" and "Daring Partners" starring Tamannaah Bhatia and Diana Penty.

Chopra was seen as a medal contender for India at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and his performance in the qualification round had raised the expectations of his fans. He had qualified for the javelin throw final with a throw of 86.65m. Chopra is the second Indian after shooter Abhinav Bindra to win a gold medal in an individual event for independent India. Chopra, who hails from Haryana, is a Junior Commissioned Officer (<keyword id="16961" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="JCO">JCO</keyword>) in the <keyword id="6354416" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Army">Indian Army</keyword>. The 23-year-old farmer's son from Khandra village near Panipat in Haryana produced a second round throw of 87.58 metres in the finals to stun the athletics world and end India's 100-year wait for a track and field medal in the Olympics. Bindra, who had won gold in 2008 Beijing Olympics, congratulated Chopra on Twitter for fulfilling the nation’s dream. <div type="twitter" handle="Abhinav_Bindra" handlename="Abhinav A.

It is the most number of medals won by India in a single edition of the Olympics. Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch bagged the silver medal with a throw of 86.67m. His compatriot Vitezslav Vesley took the bronze medal with a throw of 85.44m. Chopra came into the final as a medal contender after topping the qualification round on Wednesday with a stunning first round throw of 86.59m. But few would have thought he would bludgeon his way to gold in such a dominant fashion at the grandest stage. Season leader and pre-tournament gold favourite Johannes Vetter of Germany, who had thrown the javelin to 90m plus distances seven times between April and June, was eliminated after the first three throws as he was placed ninth with a best effort of 82.52m. Top eight after the first three throws get three more attempts while the remaining four in the 12-man final are eliminated. With his fifth career best throw, Chopra has done something which the likes of late Milkha Singh and P T Usha could not do in the 1960 and 1984 editions. No Indian has won a medal in athletics since the country started taking part in the Games in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. Three track and field athletes were part of the five-member team -- the other two being wrestlers -- in that Games. <div type="twitter" handle="BiIndia" handlename="Business Insider India🇮🇳" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1232926719016718336/sfffJHNV_normal.jpg" favoritecount="58" retweetcount="13" status="Etched in history!#NeerajChopra | The throw that won India a #goldmedal at #TokyoOlympics.#Tokyo2020… https://t.co/dmBOWeixUi" createdat="1628340157000" id="1423987946630246405"></div> (With inputs from PTI) SEE ALSO <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/byjus-last-two-acquisitions-and-a-deal-with-disney-reveal-its-american-dream/articleshow/84783749.cms">Byju's last two acquisitions and a deal with Disney reveal its American dream ⁠— one that is anchored in India</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/personal-finance/news/six-red-flags-for-investors-to-avoid-becoming-a-victim-of-misselling-by-agents-or-financial-advisors/slidelist/84782913.cms">Six red flags for investors to avoid becoming a victim of misselling by agents or financial advisors</a>

Pathankot terror attack: Remembering the 7 bravehearts who laid their lives to save the nation's pride

Three days after the country rejoiced on hearing that one of the ten soldiers who were buried under snow after an avalanche hit their <keyword id="42770" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Siachen">Siachen</keyword> post has been rescued alive, the moment of grief has left everyone in shock. 
 
Lance Naik ​Hanumanthappa Koppad breathed his last in the Army Hospital, Delhi, as all attempts to revive the Siachen braveheart from coma failed. The soldier suffered acute oxygen deprivation to the brain and pneumonia in both lungs. 
 
Talking of the rescue operation that brought this momentary joy, it could only be termed a miracle that rescue teams were able to establish a radio contact with one of the ten soldiers of Indian Army, who were trapped after a massive ice-wall avalanche hit their 19,600 feet high Army post in Siachen Glacier on February 3. 
 
This radio signal prompted the rescue teams to start their rescue operation along with sniffer dogs, earth-penetrating radars, radio signal detectors, and specialised ice-cutting and boring equipments, with double efforts. 
 
"After radio contact was established on February 4, rescue operations were stalled on February 5 due to snow storms and blizzards. Soldiers deployed at such posts keep their radio sets switched on to ensure they can be traced by signals in case of a mishap," an officer told TOI. 
 
The teams were only waiting for the weather to be slightly clear. As soon as that happened, over 150 rescue personnel resumed their efforts so that they could locate the "general area" where they expected the soldiers to have got buried. 
 
Nine bodies were extricated around 7.30pm on Monday, and Lance Naik Hanumanthappa Koppad was taken out alive from under 35 feet of snow, his condition being very critical. 
 
Names of the martyrs who did the supreme sacrifice for the nation are Subedar Nagesha, Havildar Elumalai, Lance Havildar S Kumar, Lance Naik Sudheesh, Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad , sepoys Mahesha PN, Ganesan G, Rama Moorthy N, Mustaq Ahmed and nursing assistant Suryawanshi SV, all belonging to the 19th Battalion of Madras Regiment.

Kudos to Vidya, who ironically displays more ‘male ornaments’ than most heroes.
