The fact that iflix is rated as a global company gives it the ability to have the best technology. Furthermore, it has a worldwide success that is unique on its own. The company also tried to inculcate the local ideas into its market, product, and content. This was to convince the local customers. The company also allows the customers to go at their own speed and use the preferred language. Despite the company being global it also acts in a local way. This has made people move away from standardization and embrace iflix. The company is now available in many countries across the world. However, it is found in the middle east and Africa.
