| Abstract | Access to cultural products across large sections of Indian society has traditionally been restricted as a result of relatively high monopoly prices and the exercise of strict copyright controls. Although this flaw in the conventional delivery model of the entertainment industry has lead to limited availability, it has also created an opportunity for new emerging firms such as Moser Baer. Moser Baer, an Indian multinational and a leader in storage media technologies, made a surprising move by entering the entertainment industry and has since contributed to a considerable restructuring of the industry's existing landscape. It has, through its proprietary and patented technology, significantly contributed to the radical lowering of storage media costs. The firm has subsequently licensed-in several hundred films, burnt and sold the contents on its inexpensive DVDs. By providing movie DVDs at a price that is the lowest in the world and distributing it to the remotest corner of the country using a multi-tiered distribution network, Moser Baer has almost single-handedly revolutionized access. We would like to examine through a case study how Moser Baer is able to create a unique strategy using technology, creative licensing strategies and an FMCG-like distribution channel as a differentiator to revolutionize access to films within India. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
