When the streams leak: Piracy’s quiet drain on OTT revenues
05-01-2026

Munish Vaid, Vice President, Primus Partners, shared his view that India remains a challenging market for OTT monetisation due to low subscription conversion, weak ARPU, and uneven advertising performance, with piracy further eroding both revenue streams. He added that the core challenge is behavioural, as a large segment of viewers is accustomed to free content, making piracy a convenient alternative amid price sensitivity and subscription fatigue.
