From television to digital to cinema, rival firms merged (Jio-Star), collaborated (Dharma-Serene), or were simply acquired (ENIL bought Gaana; Amazon acquired MX Player; Saregama picked up a majority stake in Pocket Aces) as they sought to survive amid changing consumer tastes and preferences.

At the same time, consumers will see if getting bigger is any good for them from a content pricing perspective, and regulators will have to ensure there are no price wars in the marketplace.
