It is very difficult to sell entertainment services in India, where the GDP per capita is less than $ 2000. Many of the top performing companies in India offer products and services at very low prices. Music streaming service Spotify is also offering users free of charge in the Indian market, and a premium plan with high quality music playback is also available at a low price of 119 rupees (about 190 yen) per month.
But that doesn't mean there is no success. Disney's own streaming service, Hotstar, offers 80% of the content for free, and as a result, it has successfully attracted over 300 million active users each month. According to the survey report, the total number of Internet users in India is about 500 million, which indicates that quite a lot of users use Hotstar. The ad will be displayed on the free plan offered by Hotstar, but it will cost 999 rupees (about 1600 yen) a year to hide this ad.
