Amazon will be launching Prime Video channels in the Indian market soon. Paid monthly subscriptions will be offered as a service to third-party networks and streaming entertainment channels. An Indian head for the service is being currently looked for by Amazon.
As of now, Amazon offers two streaming services in the country - Prime Video and Prime Music. Both the services are available to consumers at a price of Rs 999 per year. Prime Video was launched about three years ago and Music went live in February 2018, Television Post reported.
Business strategy and operations that include partner deals and consumer marketing will be handled by the chief of the Prime Video channels. The same person will be responsible for the market plan and creating a customer base in the country. A wide range of live TV channels will be available to customers once they sign up for the Prime Video channels.
Launched in the United States back in 2015, the requirement for on-demand video streaming services has been actively growing across many countries like UK, Germany, Japan and India, Television Post reported.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
