SRAM has plans to invest a total of USD 120 Mn primarily to create avenues in the high demand Video on demand, Content streaming, Hyper-targeted content and advertising verticals of the media and advertising industry. These are just a few of the developments that will transform the media and entertainment industry this year as per the observations of SRAM Group Chairman Dr. Sailesh Lachu Hiranandani.
 
Dr. Hiranandani emphasised that the challenges ahead for the media and entertainment industry in 2018 will be to figure out how to create tailored customer experiences when there is mass customization of experience across all content, advertising, and brands. This will proliferate exorbitant amounts of data about their preferences, relationships, habits, locations, etc. which would a great mining opportunity for big data analysists like SRAM to use this data to Hyper target our television, films, print and visual media Content along with advertising and optimize the customer experience based on the analytics provided by our data mining division. With this fund we intend to enter the high demand video on demand market which used OTT and IPTV for hyper targeted content for mainstream entertainment, news, sports and advertising.
