Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Voot is a major established player in the Indian OTT market with undeniable scale (100M+ users, massive content library). While the submission itself was of extremely low quality with vague claims and lazy inputs, the verifiable reality of the project's reach and utility drives a high score. The project falls into the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier. However, the score is tempered by the current market consolidation (merger with JioCinema) and the poor quality of the response provided.
