With potentially more people using smartphones in India than the entire US population their uptake in digital platforms is making a massive difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T-Series is for the most part a music channel creating high budget music videos for a variety of Indian artists. They have 300 employees and 13 of them work on YouTube full time. Despite such a small number making up their full time YouTube team, chairman and managing director Bhushan Kumar says that 60% – 70% of their revenues come from YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
