Summary

India's media and entertainment (M&E) industry wrote a comeback after the curtains were almost down in early 2020 ... and then came the multiple plot twists in the form of restarts and stops.

As a result, cash registers haven't got back their pre-pandemic ring.

Advertising revenue for the industry, which has a strong correlation with economic growth, has been clawing back with a lag.

The past two fiscals have also seen big changes in the media consumption pattern, which will have a bearing on revenue.

Given this context, some questions that arise are:

• Are there structural shifts in the M&E industry's dynamics, or is this a passing saga?
• Is there broad-based rebound in the industry or are some sub-segments (TV broadcasting and distribution, digital, print, radio, out-of-home media, and cinema) in a relatively sweeter spot?
  

For answers, Crisil Ratings is organising a webinar where its experts will discuss:

• Revenue outlook for fiscals 2023 and 2024
• Trends in advertisement and subscription revenues across sub-segments
• Profitability trends and credit outlook across sub-segments
• Changes in the overall industry landscape and emerging themes
  

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