to the OTT providers to bringing high-qualitycontent to our near screens through
the Internet. OTT's providers not only depend on their repositorybut invest a lot of
money in producing their content. Many factors, such as new technologies, a drop
indata charges, improved Internet speeds both at home and on the Internet.
Mobiles, tablets, laptops, andSmart TVs are now to be made for entertainment and
made it easy for the consumption of contentprovided by the OTT providers. This

INTRODUCTION
The term OTT or "over-the-top" refers to the distribution of content or services
6
over an infrastructure thatis not under the administrative control of the content
provider. Originally, it applied to the distribution ofaudio and video material, but
more recently, the term has been expanded to include any service orinformation
available on OTT Platforms in recent times media usage is happening quickly
through OTTPlatforms around the world the Rapid growth of users Internet
connectivity has made devices with anincreasingly growing support to digital
media and Consumers have a Privilege of access to media

Historically,Traditional media television is being ruled and raised by the OTT
Platforms in India Like Hot star,AmazonPrime, Netflix, Aha, Zoom,
Sonyliv,Zee5,etc.

Users andGratificationTheory
8
The object of the Uses and Gratification Theory is to understand how people use
the media. Fulfill theirneeds and receive satisfaction from them. People prefer to
communicate, to receive Awareness, relax, beconscious of, and enjoy themselves
in the media that they find. It is also easy to use for interpersonalcontact. Users
become active ingredients to the communication method, to be goal-oriented in
their use ofthe media. The theorists are saying the media consumer is searching for
unique media outlets the better fittheir needs and meet their needs Gratitude. Uses
and incentives presume that consumers have more thanone preference to meet their
needs. It is their need. In comparison to other ideas, this hypothesis holds
thatusersareresponsibleforselectingthemediathat suits andmeets
theirexpectationsandneeds.
PROBLEMIDENTIFICATION
Consumer privacy is at the forefront of businesses all over the world and will
become even moreprominent in the media ecosystem. Instead of seeing the
oncoming wave of privacy legislation asnegative, see it as an opportunity to learn
about customers and win their trust. In this
intenselycompetitivemarketinwhichprivacyisnotnegotiablecompanieswhosimplywa
nttochecktheboxby doing the bare minimum, without investing in customer

experience, may find who their customersarereluctanttocompromise theirprivacy
andmay prefertoturntoa moresecureprovider.
Since genre-specific platforms have also Language challenges come into the
picture today, it may alsobe interesting for viewers to turn to the desired language
channel. But the advantage that streaminggiants like Netflix, Hot star, Amazon
Prime Video have is that they include content from all over theworld in monthly
payments and provide good choices for regional language content. The subject
weare talking about will be a hot topic soon, and then it will be fascinating to see
the approach of theseplatforms.

In the online and mobile device markets, researchers were also concerned about

IDENTIFIEDVARIABLES
Profiles& EaseOfUse
We find that technology is constantly evolving in today's modern age, and with
that comes Its challenges,especially for older generations who have not grown up
15
using much of these new options for streaming.Some say that a lot of customers
are out Today, if it is too complicated, new online media streamingoptions will not
be attempted because it will be difficult to learn To reduce the gap, many
businesses needto make use of very simple solutions To attract a wider audience.
The older generation is more likely toaccept a new application that is easy to use
rather than difficult. This type of consumer is more likely tohaveabetter responseto
anewstreaming service when usabilityisavailable.
AdditionalBenefits
Most businesses use their brand as a path to other products purchasing. We're
observing In several ways, as customers use a website constantly, they want to add
additional Goods just to attract the consumers moretowards the website.we are
seeing more types in cable TV and OTT platforms as companies adding
newproducts to their portfolios. research has shown the significant relationship
between the purchasing thesubscriptionand purchasing multiple OTT platforms as
well as between purchase of media and buyingadditionalbenefitsin OTTplatforms
MediaOptions
In selecting a media provider and platform, channel selection plays a key role. A
key element is apreference. Live sports that have a large presence are a big factor.
It is understood that a lot of streaming options do not provide customers with Live
Sports Action Service.AstudybyHibberd(2004) was aimed atdeciding what

Payment Mode
This is the most important variable because payment mode has a wide range of
payment options to choosefromforviewers like OTT.various researchers
haveidentified priceasanimportantattribute forselectionin OTT platforms.
According to the reference of various papers, one thing is identified price is a
veryimportant consumption of OTT services. This analysis will help the companies

Cost
Especially in a market like India, OTT video platforms have a strange problem.
The concept of apaidsubscription is still very nascent on the market, so most
individuals are still Limiting the platform to eitherfree content or a restricted free
time Offerings. Most of the respondents thought that they would enjoythese forums
rather than Free of charge. When money is involved in accessing these sites,
however,respondents were Hesitant to pay for certain sites slightly. Therefore, the
OTT platforms compete not onlywith each other but also with other media
competitors.For that matter As a consequence, OTT networkadvertisers need to
educate the crowd that they pay for what they watch in terms of the OTT Platform,
butin terms of television, they pay for what they don't watch television is expensive
as compare to OTTplatforms. some consumers are more attracted to free OTT
platforms than the paid platforms becausetheir perception is that OTT is an
additional entertainment media. This will change when a consumerthinks the OTT
platform is not supplementary but complementary to television the consumer
perceptionwill change towards the cost of paying. Customers need to be Informed
that the OTT platform is asubstitute for their TV watching because the Consumers
get to see exactly what they want and payspecifically for what they watch. In the
future, this process could lead to Less television consumption, butmoresuccessful

CONCLUSION
The future of OTT platforms will be very bright and video consumption will be
more and increasinginternet and mobile penetration every day. The present study
says about users' profiles and preferencesare different towards content. There has
been a lot of investment in OTT platforms it is very hard to saythat OTT platforms
will replace traditional TV systems.The pricing strategy of the OTT platforms
inIndia is far higher for Indian consumers. The main fuel for the OTT platforms
was the internet so manytelecom companies are struggling to compete with the
data plans in India due to jio but the cost of OTTplatforms are remaining identical
but therefore the average cost of the users is having to access content onthe
platform. The millennium is the most concerned of consumption of data. OTT
platforms always lookfor a way to produce more attractive content that is not
available. The main problem is that every
OTTplatformisnothavingthefinancialabilitytoproducemorevideocontentforanewgen
eration,specifically OTT platforms and devices for newer and small OTT
platforms. The millennium is attractedtowards the OTT platforms due to foreign
content and video on demand. The emergence of JIO

FUTURESCOPEOFTHESTUDY
As we collected responses of 404 which is a bigger sample size and analyzed them
for the present study.Since the respondent's profile was almost the same present
64
research done from the almost same region anddifferent profiles which brings new
preferences. There are enough attributes for the present study butmore attributes
from different areas can be conducted to find more profile preferences of the
users.collecting responses from different regions and different preferences will
give more analysis of the profileand preference of the users of OTT platforms
because in India there are so many languages and so manyOTTplatforms
thatarereleasingintheirlanguages.
