BARC India COO Romil Ramgarhia commented, “BARC India’s viewership is the currency basis, on which $5.7Bn worth advertising content decisions are made, but the application and impact of the data goes beyond TV ad spends and broadcast revenues. There are multiple entities that can benefit from our robust data to grow their business and we realised the need to make this data accessible to this larger audience and bring it to their fingertips.”
The portal offers reports related to viewership analysis across channels, genres, TV programming, and advertising campaigns. Users can also customise these reports to suit their specific requirements. The data on the ‘Self-Service Portal’ can be availed at a nominal charge through a swift online payment and the report will be delivered via email within two to seven business days depending on the nature of the report requested.
