Prime Video is one of the biggest contenders in the supremacy race and one factor that significantly contributes to it is its drive to enhance its services for its diverse customer base. In a piece of significant news, the entertainment wing of Amazon has announced the integration of Chaupal, a Punjabi video streaming service, into its Prime Video Channels platform. This strategic expansion comes after Amazon Prime Video’s successful foray into content aggregation in India in 2021, enabling other subscription-driven video-on-demand platforms to be accessible directly through its app and website.
Chaupal, the latest addition to the Prime Video Channels family, brings with it a treasure trove of Punjabi entertainment. Its content library includes a diverse range of movies and series, featuring popular titles like Kaali Jotta, Aaja Mexico Chaliye, Outlaw, Chal Jindiye, Khao Piyo Aish Karo, Panchhi, and Paani Ch Madhaani. Beyond this, Chaupal is set to delight subscribers with the opportunity to stream the latest theatrical movie releases, starting with the highly anticipated Carry on Jatta 3.
Mahesh Sharma, Vice President of Strategic Partnership and Alliances at Chaupal, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “With Chaupal, we aim to provide our viewers with the finest Punjabi language content. This integration marks a significant milestone for us, and we believe it will have a profound and long-lasting impact on Punjabi content consumption across the country. We are thrilled to collaborate with Prime Video Channels to offer subscribers top-notch Punjabi entertainment and to expand the reach of our content across India.”
The inclusion of Chaupal into Prime Video Channels is part of Amazon’s commitment to offering a one-stop destination for diverse content needs. Prime Video Channels simplifies the streaming experience by allowing customers to manage all their premium content subscriptions within a single platform—the Prime Video app and website.
This integration not only streamlines login and billing but also enhances content discovery. Subscribers can now effortlessly browse and explore new and popular content without the need to switch between different services. Additionally, it offers personalised recommendations, making it easier for viewers to discover their next favourite show or movie.
Moreover, subscribers can enjoy a consistent set of features, such as IMDb’s X-Ray, a single consolidated watch list, and a download library for offline viewing, across all their premium channel subscriptions. This ensures a seamless and feature-rich streaming experience.
Prime Video Channels extend beyond Chaupal, offering access to a wide array of OTT services, including BBC Player, BBC Kids, Animax + GEM, Lionsgate Play, discovery+, Eros Now, DocuBay, ManoramaMAX, hoichoi, MUBI, AMC+, ShortsTV, VROTT, Acorn TV, NammaFlix, Stingray All Good Vibes, iwonder, Curiosity Stream, MyZen TV, and Museum TV.
In India’s ever-evolving streaming landscape, the concept of aggregation has gained prominence. Telecom operators like Airtel (Airtel XStream) and Reliance Jio (JioFiber, Jio TV Plus), as well as DTH platforms like Tata Sky Binge, have embraced aggregation to provide a holistic entertainment experience to their users. Aggregation not only benefits larger players by offering value-added services but also helps smaller platforms gain visibility and engagement.
The inclusion of Chaupal into Prime Video Channels marks a significant step in expanding the diversity and accessibility of Punjabi content for viewers across India. With a rich catalogue of Punjabi movies and series, along with the promise of the latest theatrical releases, Chaupal promises to be a valuable addition to the streaming landscape. As Amazon continues to evolve its content aggregation strategy, Indian viewers can look forward to more choices and a seamless streaming experience—all within the Prime Video ecosystem.
