The lockdowns and restrictions imposed on various activities due to COVID - 19 pandemic, while being a necessary measure to contain its spread, have also posed an unprecedented challenge to all businesses and the business operations and the Company have also been impacted.

Availability of fresh content is constrained because of stoppage of all the shooting and other allied production activities resulting in revenue loss for the Company. Availability of new digital content is constrained because of stoppage of fresh productions and the Company has managed to release shows that were in inventory.

There was no major impact on control environment and operating effectiveness of internal controls as the month end / year end / other controls were operated by way of digital or e-mail sign-offs and online reviews through teleconferencing and Video Conference during the lock down period.
