Amagi THUNDERSTORM offers unique features tailored for the Indian market, such as mid-break and pod split, designed to maximize ad monetization potential, especially in channels with 6-8 minute ad breaks.
Amit Kr Sinha, Chief Strategy Officer, India TV, highlighted the pioneering nature of the collaboration and the differentiation provided by Amagi THUNDERSTORM’s premium features and scalable capabilities. The deployment includes serving both pre-roll and mid-roll ads, supported by Amagi’s comprehensive services, including a single point of contact for delivery to multiple platforms, SSAI integration, expert guidance on ads, quick turnaround time, and access to in-depth analytics.
This partnership signifies a landmark move in the industry, reflecting India TV’s commitment to delivering top-notch content and ensuring an unparalleled viewer experience. Amagi, with its global reach and track record of serving clients worldwide, continues to play a pivotal role in transforming the ad tech landscape for broadcasters and content providers.
