How Netflix’s Monika Shergill is diversifying OTT content
Live MintIt takes the Netflix India publicity team and me about a month of to-and-fro emails outlining interview briefs and tentative questions to get Netflix India’s creative boss, Monika Shergill, to sit over a herbal tea and talk about what tier 1 and 2 India will be watching for the next couple of years. “Beyond the fundamental requirement for a role,” she adds, “I believe in leaning into people who bring the right mindset to a job in terms of being team players, using their passion and courage to try the new, and have a constant learning approach.” She says it is easy to forget one’s gender at work: “Who wants to be called a female executive or a female director? Even in the post-MeToo world, there’s a lot to be done; all of us have the responsibility to set the right example.” Post-pandemic, the Netflix India growth story is brighter than it has ever been. It was also a period of deep reflection and it has made me value every relationship and opportunity in my life so much more.” “Streaming is almost like a forcing function for innovation,” Shergill says.
