Subscription Spike During Diwali
Problem Statement:
During Diwali season, streaming platforms observe a significant increase in subscriptions from Tier 2/3 Indian cities. What's the most likely cause?
Options:
Festival-specific regional content releases Special holiday discount pricing Urban users setting up accounts for parents Mobile carrier bundled offers
Answer :
Urban users setting up accounts for parents
Solution
Urban users setting up accounts for parents is the most likely cause.
Justification
1. Content releases can't explain the pattern
- Regional content releases happen year-round
- Impossible to create specific content for all regions simultaneously
2. Holiday pricing is unlikely
- Discounts work in any season
- No logical connection to Tier 2/3 specific growth
3. Urban users setting up accounts fits the pattern
- Aligns with Diwali tradition of family visits
- Explains urban-to-rural usage pattern
- Matches tech adoption patterns in India
4. Mobile carrier bundles lack clear reasoning
- No specific advantage to festival timing
-
Carriers run promotions throughout the year
Applications in Other Industries
Digital Banking
- Children help parents set up accounts during visits
- Setup location differs from usage location
Food Delivery
- Urban children install apps on parents' phones
- Usage continues after children return to cities
Digital Payments
- Festival visits drive parent adoption
- Children facilitate initial setup and training
Takeaway
Content releases, holiday pricing, and carrier promotions happen year-round, with no specific tie to Tier-2/3 cities. The pattern of urban users setting up digital services for family during visits is more logical, as seen across food delivery and stock trading apps.
