Amidst a swiftly changing landscape, Over-the-top platforms have revolutionized India's media and
entertainment sphere. As the global approach to content creation, curation, distribution, and consumption
undergoes a paradigmatic shift, the significance of OTT platforms for Indian viewers remains paramount. Their
distinct value was especially highlighted during the pandemic and has continued to be embraced by audiences.
Over-the-top (OTT) platforms are not just reshaping the digital terrain but also revolutionizing Indians' outlook
on entertainment. Long-running traditional TV series are being supplanted by shows on platforms like Netflix,
and Amazon Prime, signalling a shift in market dynamics from conventional to technological paradigms. In light
of their growing significance and impact on society, concerns related to censorship also arise. Censorship is
deeply rooted in our country’s history.
