Star Sports' Short-Sighted Football Broadcast Strategy In India

Star Sports' Short-Sighted Football Broadcast Strategy In India

I got introduced to the Premier League because of friends. However, the reason I became a fan was because I could watch Premier League matches live on my TV. I was exposed to a world of entertainment and scintillating display of skill. The pre-match and post-match analysis was of high quality. The weekly shows on Football were educating and gave great insight into how the sport was run. The only way you develop an interest and convert it to a passion is if the content is available. When I look back I became a cricket fan as a child too because I could watch the Indian team travel across the world on TV. Access to experiencing the content was never a problem.

For once the choice of the intelligentsia might have been closely mirrored by the government's decision to appoint Urjit Patel as successor to Raghuram Rajan as the 24th Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.  With a M Phil from Oxford  and a PhD in Economics from Yale he seemed to be best suited to take over the Governor's post along with Subir Gokarn amongst the many speculations for the position, in the last few months, after Rajan announced his return to academia.

Reading about Ron’s car rescuing him and Harry from the Acromantula colony in J.K. Rowling’s bestselling book “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, I remember wondering as a kid whether driverless cars were indeed possible in real life. However, Harry Potter, being the story of a magical world, I was quick to dismiss the idea. It might have seemed far-fetched at that point but watching Johnny cabs, the artificial intelligence powered cars in “Total Recall” and then those sleek self-driven cars in “Minority Report”, the idea  no more seems as absurd as it seemed earlier. With the advent of technology, driverless cars have now become a reality. However, autonomous cars are not the only “big thing” of this century. We are uniquely poised to witness the relentless parade of new technologies. Emerging disruptive technologies such as 4D printing, advanced genomics, routers that can recharge devices in a few miles radius, energy storage devices, Apple Pencil that can translate movements of the hand directly to a computer without needing a scan, to name a few, have the potential to disrupt the status quo and alter the way people live and work.
