  "An idea we’re excited about — and we’ll see how it goes, we think that giving everyone in a country access to Netflix for free for a weekend could be a great way to expose a bunch of new people to the amazing stories that we have. Really creating an event, and hopefully, get a bunch of those folks to sign up,” Netflix COO Greg Peters had said during a conference call.

• Last month, Netflix stopped giving free trials across markets including India. However, users can still get access to a complimentary subscription to Netflix through some postpaid plans.
