Monika Shergill, VP, content, and Srishti Behl Arya, director, international original film, Netflix India, are buzzing. On Wednesday they launched the streaming platform’s largest Indian slate yet, some 40 titles across formats and genres.
Also buzzing is the Indian streaming industry, with the news that arch rival Amazon Prime Video has apologized over religious offence caused by original series “Tandav.” Netflix, Amazon, and all streamers operating in India, including Disney Plus Hotstar, are subject to strict new guidelines that the Indian government published last week to govern them, covering many topics including religion.
