Summary

The media and entertainment sector's revenue correlates strongly to economic growth.

India's GDP growth is heading towards a decadal low because of the 40-day extended lockdown to counter the Covid-19 pandemic.

Consequently, advertising revenue of the media and entertainment sector would also take a hard knock.

What would be the likely impact of this on overall growth of the sector and sub-sectors?

While advertisement revenue has rebounded sharply with a revival in economic growth in the past, what would be the trajectory this time around?

For answers, CRISIL is organising a webinar where its experts will discuss aspects such as:

• Sector outlook in fiscals 2021 and 2022
  
• Revenue growth expectations - advertisement and subscription
  
• Relative position of sub-sectors (TV broadcasting and distribution, digital, print, radio, out-of-home media, and cinema)
  
• Credit outlook of sub-sectors
  

This will be followed by a panel discussion with industry experts and a Q&A session.
