an initiative to support the
international film festivals and film
industry as a whole.

5. Business Model and Sales/Marketing
Strategy
• All film makers and festivals in the globe, looking for global audience and
business opportunities. Out of the 6000 film festivals only very few are
popular among the global media community. By providing a multi media
platform, online, mobile and satellite TV channels, IFFTV is committed to

Strategy

stood second when compared with
BRIC and other major developed
economies.
• In 2014, the television industry in India
derived the major share of its
revenue from advertising segment
(32.6 per cent) and the rest from
subscription (67 per cent)
• Nonetheless, the share of subscription
in the overall revenue of the TV
segment is expected to increase to
69.3 per cent by FY19

Barriers
• The global broadcast media industry offers significant opportunities for industry players
due to increasing mobile television subscribers and a surging entertainment and media
market. The market is expected to continue its expansion and reach approximately US
$597 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 4.5% over the next five years (2012–2017).
• The global broadcast media industry includes enterprises that create content or acquire
the rights to distribute and broadcast content. Improving economic conditions and more
spending by advertisers, coupled with rising online distribution of music, films, TV shows,
and video games are expected to be the industry's major growth drivers. Internet
broadcasting is forecast to be the fastest-growing sector as the Internet becomes more
dominant in content consumption.

increasing industry growth rate.

content storage solutions, and the emergence of a new digital distribution model.

17. Feedback
Congratulations on your new initiative, Rajan!
IFFTV sounds like something completely new on the already saturated satellite TV landscape.
Kudos for creating something different and welcomed. Film is one medium
that really lends itself to interactivity (in that people are always finding ways to discuss their opinion
of films and movies). Also, so many fantastic films are not given
wide release, so only festival goers get enjoy them...with IFFTV, the average independent film
audience might possibly be expanded to include who might miss such
festivals...
I look forward to learning more!
I hope that you will not forget to cover some of the many annual film festivals here on the African
continent :-)
Cheers!
