Tata Sky looks to gain deeper consumer insights with Cloudera
MUMBAI: Direct to home (DTH) player Tata Sky has selected Cloudera to support its big data initiative – to gain deeper customer insights from data gathered on subscribers across the country.
Cloudera will provide Tata Sky with an enterprise data hub (EDH) to process and scale its analysis of customer data.
Tata Sky, which offers an array of programming choices and interactive features, will use its Cloudera enterprise data hub to better understand the viewing habits of customers and to create opportunities that enhance and change the viewer’s experience.
“Tata Sky being the fastest growing DTH providers in India today, needs an infrastructure that will help us scale our data collection, processing, and analysis efforts so we can continue improving the customer experience. Implementing an enterprise data hub from Cloudera will allow us to capitalize on the data we collect and cement our position as India’s preferred DTH provider,” said Tata Sky chief information officer Ravishankar N.
“This significant customer win demonstrates our growing traction in India, while further cementing Cloudera’s platform as the platform of choice for communications providers looking to gain a 360-degree view of their businesses in order to further improve customer satisfaction and drive profit maximization. We’re excited to see the business impacts that Tata Sky will realize from using Cloudera’s platform and the new avenues that the company will explore with our technology,” added Cloudera big data evangelist and telecommunications subject matter expert Amy O’Connor.

Dish TV launches ‘Kuch chhota sa’ campaign for TV flexibilit
New campaign highlights 190+ channels, Always-On service, Rs 99 Freedom Pack.
MUMBAI- Sometimes, the smallest remote click can fix the biggest daily friction and Dish TV is betting on exactly that insight. The company has rolled out a new campaign built around the thought ‘Kuch chhota sa karne par, life hogi behtar’, turning everyday viewing annoyances into a case for simpler, more reliable television access.
The campaign taps into a familiar household reality: millions of viewers continue to rely on free-to-air channels but increasingly want the flexibility of premium content, often ending up with a patchy and inconsistent viewing experience. Dish TV positions itself as the middle path—a structured yet flexible alternative that promises continuity without complexity. At its core is the pitch of an “Always-On” service, designed to keep content accessible even when recharge timelines slip, effectively reducing one of the most common friction points in DTH consumption.
To strengthen this proposition, the platform is offering access to over 190 channels, alongside a flexible pricing hook through its Freedom Pack, starting at Rs 99. The pack is positioned as a seasonal companion particularly relevant during high-engagement periods such as cricket tournaments, school holidays and festive windows, when content consumption spikes but users may not want long-term commitments.
Conceptualised by Enormous, the campaign unfolds through two master films and three short edits rooted in slice-of-life storytelling. From a husband quietly navigating around his sleeping wife to siblings striking a compromise over a coveted window seat, the narratives lean into humour and relatability rather than heavy messaging. The underlying idea remains consistent: small adjustments can meaningfully improve everyday experiences.
The rollout spans a full 360-degree media mix, including television, digital platforms, on-ground activations, point-of-sale visibility, Google Display Network placements and influencer-led content, signalling a push for both scale and contextual engagement.
As viewing habits continue to evolve in a hybrid ecosystem of free and paid content, Dish TV’s latest play reflects a broader industry shift where reliability and flexibility are increasingly positioned as differentiators, not just add-ons. In a market crowded with choice, the brand’s wager is simple: sometimes, it’s the smallest tweak that keeps audiences tuned in.
