We conducted thorough research to primarily understand the user’s needs, triggers and goals towards an entertainment platform and how those can help gain insights to establish better experiences for the user while benefiting the platform.
Our research included understanding the triggers for users to start watching content, user goals to consume content and what are the other things happening in the surrounding of the user during or around this activity
Understanding when and why users consume content; and what is the value added to the user while consuming content helped us gain the following insights:
All the above insights and discoveries about user behavior helped us establish innovative ideas and solutions for Hotstar which can not only benefit users but also gain new revenue sources for the streaming platform.
Users tend to spend several minutes of the day waiting for something or when users have nothing specific to do. For example- waiting for the cab to arrive, or while traveling in an uber, users are sitting idle.
This passive wait is an opportunity where users can be triggered to watch content online.
Linking Hotstar to Uber by reducing passive wait.
Do you want to watch your favorite show while you’re on the go and have nothing else to do? Well, why not!
Hotstar is a value add feature to Uber. As and when Uber wants to send its users a notification about their destination informing them that they are reaching the destination soon, the Uber would pause the Hotstar content, and overlap Uber’s notification to prioritize information for the user.
Users tend to get inspired from the shows and movies they watch, and also follow their favorite actor/ actress, their style, fashion/dressing style and get inspired to shop similar fashion for themselves.
This could be the trigger for shopping while users are watching shows online.
Combine shopping with Hotstar!
As we were discussing and recommending shows among our teammates, we all do the same with our friends and family too. With this new social platform for Hotstar users is a value add for collaborative content consumption.
Be updated, share and enjoy together!
Users always want to follow up their favorite T.V shows and also binge watch the shows they like. Task managers can motivate users to complete a task by rewarding a show at the end of the task completion.
Deliver Tasks, Stay Motivated and Enjoy Your Favorite Shows!

Remember the era when animals such as horses, camels, donkeys, etc. were the widely used mode of transport? When a four wheeler vehicle was invented to replace this transport using animals, people in that era had contrasting judgements – one where they were agasted with the ease, convenience and support the four wheelers could provide. And the other opinion was that this innovation can be harmful to humans and animals through accidents being caused!
