Recently Netflix announced that it's going to launch it's platform in India soon. Before we talk about the Pros of Netflix, let us explain what Netflix is as some of us might not be aware of it. Netflix basically is an online streaming media of America which offers it's services to customers on-demand at a subscription cost of US $ 8.99 (about ₹600) per month. It streams HD quality Movies & TV shows. It is shocking to note that there are about 69 million subscribers of Netflix worldwide at present. Here we make you familiar with 5 Reasons why Netflix is a boon to Indian media market :)-

1.NO COMMERCIALS TO INTERRUPT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT:- Everybody hates to see usual TV ads in between their favorite shows. But Netflix has done away with this problem. You can continuously enjoy the show. If the episode is of an hour, Netflix shortens it to 40 minutes and hence no ads. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

2.NO NEED TO BUY A TV & SET UP BOX:- You just need a Laptop(if u have one) & wifi connection to watch your favorite & popular movies and shows. This is cost saving as well and you can use the amount involved in buying TV & set up box for paying the subscription charges of Netflix for much more times!

3.ACCESSIBLE ON VARIOUS GADGETS :- Netflix can easily be installed on various smartphones, computer systems, Tablets, iPads and even on popular video gaming systems such as Xbox & PlayStation. Hence it does work wonders on multi platforms.

4.IT's INDEED MONEY SAVING:- Usually, to watch TV shows or Movies you need to have TV and get a set up box installed plus to pay monthly subscription charges as well- this proves to be really costly. But on contrary, all you need is to install Netflix App on any of your favorite gadget,Pay a minimum subscription amount and enjoy the full content everywhere and anywhere- isn't it economical??

5.NO SUCH MAJOR COMPETITOR IN INDIAN MARKET:- At present online streaming services are provided by Eros, spuul, boxtv.com etc. If Netflix finds its way in India it won't have such kind of a tough competitor in Indian streaming market. Along with this, Netflix provides quality content at low prices. You can also watch entire TV series on Netflix such as that of “BREAKING BAD” etc instead of downloading them or buying DVD's of whole series. So, above were the 5 reasons that would prove as a boon to the Indian streaming market if Netflix gets launched in our country!!
