Netflix has long way to go in India, but streaming giant's already given us something valuable

In India, even though Netflix is fast gaining popularity in urban centres in the country, it faces tough competition from other players in the industry. For example, Star India’s Hotstar has at least 63 million subscribers in the country, according to Quartz. Compare that to 4.2 million subscribers for Netflix India and you get the picture for Netflix’s tough path ahead in India. This may also explain why Netflix spokespersons at the Singapore event avoided talking about the number of subscribers the company has in India. - Anshu Lal, Firstpost [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
