Here's what Aparakshakti Khurana says

"Amazon MX Player’s library is so jam-packed, it’s practically a treasure chest for binge-watchers. From gripping dramas to international hits, there’s something for everyone. Millions and millions of viewers across India enjoy our original shows, blockbuster movies, and global hits. And this is exactly why Amazon MX Player is the perfect destination for brands and advertisers to reach out to their vast base of users."

Girish Prabhu, Head - Amazon Ads India talks about the power of full-funnel advertising on Amazon

"8 years ago when we launched advertising on Amazon.in, our idea was simple. Majority of the product searches online start on Amazon. So, if we recommended products using inputs from the makers or sellers then that would improve discovery for customers and allow brands to become successful. This was the idea. People come to shop, they express what they are looking for...and your product is right there. This has helped launch new products, create new brands, and drive growth."

Amazon MX Player has 250 million users

"Technology has also transformed distribution and entertainment. Amazon MX Player has 250 million users and a very large pan-India distribution.. Viewers spend 40 mins to 2 hours watching premium entertainment on mobile and Connected TVs with very little distraction. Powered by trillions of shopping and streaming signals, brands can now reach customers and drive awareness through highly engaging video ads. And, here’s the cool part - you can reconnect with those customers to drive consideration, and most importantly purchases on and off Amazon," says Girish Prabhu.

Renowned global speaker on AI, Tech, and Marketing Innovation, Benedict Evans is on the stage

"Streaming players are now as big as any big media company."

Ecommerce makes up a quarter of all global retail sales and India is ahead of that curve when compared to other prominent countries.

"We live in a world where all the ways in which you would reach out to a customer have changed. Marketing has changed. We have infinite products and media offerings. How do you then reach your customers? India is a great example of multichannel and omnichannel marketing. AI is only accelerating this in the form of AI dubbing; it gives you infinite interns. 85% of global producers plan AI dubbing. Connected TVs are heading into $40-50 billion and India is the most interesting market. They are forecasted to be the largest growing sector in India," says Evans.

It's time for a fireside chat!

Industry doyens Harish Bhat, Piyush Pandey and Suhel Seth are set for an engrossing conversation on the future of advertising—how brands reach consumers and developments in media.

  • Harish Bhat - Advisor and Director - Tata Group
  • Piyush Pandey - Adman, and the Chief Creative Officer Worldwide (2019) and Executive Chairman India of Ogilvy (agency)

Customer trust is paramount

Piyush Pandey says "Whatever the medium, if you can't touch the hearts of people then you've failed." Harish Bhat adds, "No matter which era, brands need to build and win customer trust and hearts, which requires great products and great storytelling."

Share

Influencers pave the way for new-age marketing

Moderator Suhel Seth remarks. "Influencers now exceed the number of traffic lights in India."

Piyush Pandey replies, "Influencers do play a important role. Use the traffic lights that guide you at main junctions, not on the smaller streets. If an influencer is actually associated with the category you want to sell in and uses those products, then that influencer is much better than a celebrity endorsement."

Karan Bedi, Head of Amazon MX Player on transforming free ad-supported streaming In India

Karan Bedi, Head of Amazon MX Player

"Over 450 million users consume video content across devices in India today, a number that is growing very rapidly and is expected to touch over 600 million next year. The key thing about this growth is that it is not just restricted to a single demographic but is happening across the board - across ages, genders, and income groups," says Karan Bedi. "The main DRIVER of this shift is that audiences are moving from TV to digital as India’s premier mass consumption medium. But more than just reach, streaming also provides a higher quality of engagement. In many countries, especially India, a higher proportion of users engage with ads while streaming when compared to TV."

Share

Karan Bedi on why streaming trumps other mediums

"Going beyond engagement, to actual ROI in terms of recall or consideration, streaming wins over every other medium. While it scores well on immediate impact, the difference is even more pronounced from a long-term impact perspective, where the gap widens. This is because video streaming is an active consumption medium, and TV is passive," says Bedi.

"Even within video, streaming services with curated content consistently outperform UGC. Users are more invested when watching immersive stories. Ads on streaming are not just seen, but remembered and acted upon. If it wasn't clear, ads on streaming video create great ROI!"

Share

Karan on the Amazon and MX merger: Always Entertaining! Always Free! No T&C!

"First, our core mission has always been, and remains, to offer great quality entertainment for free, now backed by Amazon’s trust and safety. We provide our users with great content, and our advertisers with access to a wide range of audiences across multiple distribution channels.

Second, we provide huge reach. MX Player is one of the largest apps in India with over 1.4 billion downloads on PlayStore, one of the only apps anywhere in the world to do so, and over 250 million unique users. MX's reach is equivalent to some of the top TV channels in India.

Third, our users are very diverse across income groups, age groups, gender and geographies. Over 50% are NCCS A and 50% are in Tier 1 and metro cities.

Last but not least, a key advantage that we offer is that MX Player is now a part of Amazon – which allows us to leverage trillions of first-party shopping signals from millions of Amazon customers, providing a significant differentiator to brands in reaching relevant audiences."

100 new shows along with movies, series and more in 2025 on Amazon MX Player

"With the benefit of this huge distribution, we reiterate our commitment to offering premium and high quality content to India for free and are doubling down – with over 100 new shows, along with hundreds of movies, series and more, in 2025," Karan Bedi.

Amogh Dusad, Head of Content, Amazon MX Player, on launching MX Fatafat, a new storytelling format

"The massive reach and engagement of Amazon MX Player has been possible because we place viewers at the heart of our content creation journey," says Dusad.

"Innovating not only on the stories we tell but also around the formats in which stories are told. Sometimes viewers look for longer duration shows to binge on weekends, and at other times look for some quick, snackable content. We are soon launching MX Fatafat, which will have micro dramas; power-packed scripted series with 2-minute long episodes in vertical format to address in this evolving need. Bite-sized content for when you have bite-sized time to consume it. And finally! For a value conscious country like ours, what could delight the customer more! A fully charged-up slate of shows on a service that is completely free of charge."

"We live in a world where choosing your geographies and using technology to drive efficiencies in advertising is important. A world where digital dominates will become increasingly important in an AI-driven, energy-driven, capitalistic-driven world. Data is your real fuel in this world. It's important for clients to control and integrate third party data. There need to be constituencies and cohorts instead of indvidualised data," says Sorrell. Edited excerpts.
