Eros Now to offer its vast content library to
Ooredoo users in Qatar
Eros Now, the cutting-edge digital over-the-top (OTT) South
Asian entertainment platform owned by Eros International Plc (NYSE
: EROS) (“Eros”), a leading global company in the Indian film
entertainment industry, today announced its partnership with
Ooredoo Qatar – an international telecommunications company
headquartered in Doha. The Eros Now premium online video streaming
platform, popular for its massive Bollywood, regional film library
and captivating originals, promises to cater to the country’s wide
audience base in partnership with the telecom giant, Ooredoo
Qatar.
The Middle East region and Qatar in particular is home to a
robust population of non-resident south Asians. What is unique
about this region is that the content is consumed by both the South
Asian diaspora as well as locals who are equally enthusiastic to
watch entertaining content from Bollywood. The unprecedented demand
for Indian content for both films and originals makes Eros Now a
popular choice for consumers.
With this partnership, Eros Now aims at offering its wide array
of content across genres and Indian regional languages to Ooredoo’s
vast subscriber base. Eros Now and Ooredoo, which provides services
in nine countries across the region including Qatar, also plan to
replicate similar alliances in new markets in the future.
Commenting on the association, Ali Hussein, CEO, Eros Now
said, “Eros Now’s content certainly has a universal appeal and
Qatar is one of the significant markets for us. The inconceivable
demand for Indian content in the country has enabled Eros Now and
Ooredoo to join hands and offer audiences the finest films,
originals, music and more.”
Manar Khalifa Al-Muraikhi – Director PR and Corporate
Communications at Ooredoo said, "This partnership will
not only strengthen our portfolio but also help us build bridges to
connect with our global audience. Love for Bollywood is
conversation starter that seamlessly turns into a topic of
discussion, and we are thrilled to partner with an Indian OTT
giant."
