Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content.

So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."
