Prem Kamath, Executive VP & GM, said Majority of the Indian youth are dreamers, living the dream of others, be it parents, friends or simply popular culture.
Dhotre said that India's diversity is a major factor. He said, "India is so diverse with respect to religion, faith and beliefs that to provide content appropriate for one group, one may end up offending another group.
