For the first time, this format allows for theatre-wise, spot-wise monitoring of the client’s activity”.

He further added, “After having a stronghold in the Television and Internet space, Digital Cinema is another medium that NDTV Media is venturing into thereby being able to offer its clients multiple touch points to reach its consumers.

Rajesh Mishra, CEO – India Operations, UFO Moviez India Ltd. said, “Earlier the single screens were largely unable to monetize the advertising opportunities in their cinemas owing to the fragmented nature of the market. Now that we have reached 1200 screens across India, we can begin to tap the advertising opportunities that are possible with our network of cinemas. Their handling of the ad sales activity will allow us to focus on our core business of Digital Cinema Operations.
