how Dish TV's Watcho offers a world-class ott experience to its 25 million subscribers

about Watcho
Watcho is an OTT platform launched by Dish TV India Limited, the world’s largest single-country DTH Company. The platform brings in a plethora of new-age content- from 50 original web-series, short films, on-the-go snackable video content, celebrity collaborations to infotainment videos, 115 Live TV channels and 800+ hours of engaging content across diverse genres.
Key Challenge
As the streaming industry is growing and cannibalising Pay TV globally, DishTV wanted to secure their turf by providing OTT to their consumer base, which is second largest in India. They wanted to be an omnichannel platform and offer content across all platforms so they could avoid viewer churn.
