– Delhi. In a bid to boost subscriptions, Amazon Inc has launched eight video streaming services, both local and global, on its video platform. This bundling option comes at a time when global competition is soaring for the US company in the market.

Subscribers of Amazon’s Prime membership will be able to subscribe to many streaming services at one interface. Gaurav Gandhi, the head of Amazon Prime Video in India said at its launch in an interview with Reuters, “We believe besides solving customer problems… multiple apps, multiple logins… it also solves a lot for our partners where they are able to get the benefit of Prime Video’s reach and ubiquitous distribution.”

The service will include apps from partners including Lions Gate Entertainment Corp, Discovery Inc, MUBI, Eros Now, Docubay, Hoichoi, Manorama Max, and Shorts TV. Amazon Prime Video will offer its flagship Prime members an option for “add-on subscription” that will enable them access to these applications.
