MUMBAI: In an industry study conducted by Vidooly, it is observed that Facebook could be a great platform for aspiring video creators in the country. They can then incorporate it in their overall content strategy and try to leverage other platforms like YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.

The study broadly covers six categories of content- health and lifestyle, new age entertainment, traditional entertainment, new age news, traditional news, individual creators and over 5,000 Facebook video publishers in India.

According to the report, Times of India with 112228314 views is the most viewed video publisher on Facebook. It is the most consistent video uploader of all and uploads more than 20 videos on their Facebook page almost every day.

"India is right now at the center of Facebook's growth strategy. With around 142 million monthly active users in the country, it is a platform that brands or video creators cannot ignore! Despite YouTube still being the go-to platform for most video creators in the country, Facebook is fast catching up and attracting new creators to its platform,” said Vidooly CEO and co-founder Subrat Kar.

Star Plus dominates the traditional entertainment media brand category with 26 million+ views, and is followed closely by Zoom TV with 25 million+ views and HistoryTV 18 with 24 million+ views.

Food related content is gaining massive traction in India. Hebbar’s Kitchen, ScoopWhoop’s Om nom nom, Buzzfeed India, Glamrs, The Logical Indian, PopXo, Scroll are making a killing on Facebook through video.

The top 10 new age media brands collectively clocked over 206 million video views just in October.
