Netflix’s Expanding Business Model
One other major development that the summit brought to light was Netflix’s push beyond their core business. Earlier this year, the Broadway opening of “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” showcased the company’s efforts to diversify its offerings beyond traditional streaming. On top of that, Netflix announced in April its intentions to launch an experiential retail presence in Dallas and Philadelphia as the company further expands its business model. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, a prominent Bollywood director, screenwriter, and music composer, was photographed alongside Sarandos during the event, suggesting potential collaborations between the two creative powerhouses. With Bhansali’s growing participation in the industry, new opportunities surface for Netflix. This might prompt them to seek out a broader array of material especially designed for different audiences. As Netflix continues to evolve, Sarandos’s remarks indicate a clear vision not only for the company’s financial goals but for its innovative approach in an ever-changing entertainment landscape.
