<br /> “In markets like India, our technology is behind "No Buffering" while consumers view mobile video. Dynamic Adaptive Transcoding enables the simultaneous transcoding or optimization of the content to each specific device and dynamically adapts the video stream to the constantly varying bandwidth of carrier and Wi-Fi networks,” explains Jakatdar whose focus in India is now shifting to original content.<br /><br /> Vuclip has been investing heavily in South-east asian markets but in the past year, their focus has been on India. Some of the original series like What the Duck- based on cricket, Gehraiyaan and Spolight co-produced by Bollywood ace director <keyword id="15260" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="vikram-bhatt">Vikram Bhatt</keyword> are targeted at the Indian Millenials.

We are seeing high levels of engagement with Indian audience because they crave original content at high production value,” Nickhil thinks that the OTT market will belong to the player that not just delivers good content but also understands the indigenous market’s needs. <br />
