MUMBAI, 21st May 2013 : India’s first 24-hour Hindi Wedding Entertainment channel, Shagun TV mandates its Advertising sales business to Aidem. Speaking on the idea behind launching Shagun TV, Arunanjan Jha said, “10 million couples get married in India every year! Marriage is indeed considered one of the biggest celebrations in an Indian’s life. The channel carries the same flavor. The Indian wedding industry is estimated to be a staggering 1,25,000 Crores industry and the number just gets bigger every year. It is for this reason that the largest F&B, apparel, jewelry, consumer durables and furniture players want a piece of this pie. With Shagun TV, we want to ensure that we set the pace for the changing face of the Indian broadcast industry”
"We are happy to be associated with Aidem Ventures. We are looking forward for a fruitful bonding and a long term relationship with this organization of national repute," added Mr. Chakardhar Dhoundiyal, Chairman, Vertent Media Soft Pvt. Ltd.
Thrilled about the appointment, Vikas Khanchandani, Director, Aidem Ventures said, “The entire Aidem team is glad to be associated with Shagun TV. With the second phase of digitization, the TV audience will be able to access diverse content and sampling of such content will continue to witness a surge.
Viewership apart, Shagun TV’s innovative content has tremendous potential with existing and new advertisers alike. Beyond the usual FCT buys, a channel offers a wide range of possibilities ranging from events, in-show integrations, selective & premium non-FCT ad elements and sponsored specials. Wedding as a business in India is recession proof and continues to grow at a steady pace of 25% y-o-y. We are also looking forward to work with stakeholders in the wedding business ecosystem to enhance opportunities”
