Ajai Puri, Director &CEO-DTH, Bharti Airtel
“DTH technology is set to do to television viewing in
India, what mobile did to communication. The need to be
entertained, coupled with diversity of broadcast
channels, especially movie channels are the biggest
growth drivers for DTH in India.The market is estimated
to reach 45 million by 2013 from the current 22 million.
Given our brand strength, strong distribution system and
experience of serving the customer, we are well placed
to emerge as the ‘preferred DTH brand’ pan-India. At
Airtel, we believe that the key to our brand is
innovation and technology is one vital area of our
innovation endeavours. More than 60% of our customers
today come from outside the top 300 towns. We will
continue to leverage technology, industry partnerships
to offer world class services and a distinctive viewing
experience that will further expand the category.

Mr. Vikram
Kaushik, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Sky Ltd.
“The DTH industry is driving the digitalization of the
Pay-TV market in India. The sector has experienced
momentous growth in size and competition over the past
two years. Between the existing seven players, there are
more than 22 million subscribers today, and the number
is expected to rise to 45 million by 2015. The growth
has been rapid simply because analog systems cannot
deliver either the quantity or quality of an
ever-growing list of channels across genres and
languages in the country; and the DTH industry delivers
quality customer service. Besides, only digitalization
can remove the anomalies created by serious
under-declaration in the Pay-TV market. Unfortunately,
the financial burden of generating this growth is
extremely high. Government policy is not helping with
no-level playing field vis-à-vis cable and a punitive
tax regime that threatens the very viability of this
fledgling sector.”
