What Problem does your product solve?
Social Media Alienated Bharat:
Popular Social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat etc. were all foreign entities that predominantly hosted content in English. Their user base consisted of young urban audiences that mainly conversed in English on a regular basis. This language and nature of content alienated a large part of India (~70%) that resides in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and prefers to talk in their native language.
Moj solved this problem by launching in 15+ regional languages across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali etc., allowing users to consume and create relatable content in their mother tongues. Moj captures the nuances and diversity of India while offering entertainment on the go.

Product Features
Users can watch, create and earn on Moj! The Feed is divided into 2 - Following and For You.

(then try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)
Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.
TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)
SOM = SAM x Market Penetration/Share
​
Based on External Research
Total User base- India was home to 462.0 million social media users in January 2024, equating to 32.2 percent of the total population.
Average Ad Revenue Per User: Using Weighted Average based on the following data- avg ad revenue is ~Rs. 1.71/user
1. Avg CPS campaign ~ Rs. 2-3/per user (20%)
​
No. Of Ad Campaigns Per Month ~ 25 (Internal Data)
Thus ,
TAM = 19.75 Bn(462 million x 1.71 x 25)
Calculating SAM.
90% of Indians prefer watching content in Indic languages
The following data is from an external source
Thus, SAM = (220.37 + 130.28) X 1.71 X 25
= RS. 14.99 Bn
SOM: Moj currently has only ~30% of the total social media users in India (160Mn)
Assuming - we expect it to capture 80% of social media market in India
SOM= 80% SAM
11.99 Bn
(keep in mind the stage of your company before choosing your channels for acquisition.)

Investigative | Funny videos in Tamil, |
Comparison | Best short videos on Moj or Josh |
Transactional | download moj app |
Navigational | watch tamil video on Moj. |
As there are millions of videos on the internet, optimizing for informational & investigative search would prove futile. Thus, we start from the bottom of the funnel and optimize searches for Navigational, Transactional and Comparison. We should focus on "Brand Content Bucket" where users want to complete a particular action on Moj.
Moj, also being India's no.1 short form video application that specializes in vernacular content, should optimise for Use Case Topic keywords such as Indian short videos/ viral indian reels to enable discovery and convert users at scale.
