“With the first edition of IPL on JioCinema, we revolutionised the market by streaming the league for free, and also set an industry trend where competition followed suit while streaming other marquee tournaments,” said Viacom18 Sports Head of Revenue, Anup Govindan.
“We are set to witness another staggering season of IPL on digital and hit 600-650 million viewers. The explosive growth of CTV and handheld devices will make it an inevitable phenomenon. This truly democratizes the opportunity for brands across the board to connect with their audiences through sharper targeting and in turn grow their businesses exponentially.”
