India-based content platform Kuku has unveiled the country’s first slate of AI-generated microdramas, marking its formal entry into large-scale AI-powered storytelling. The launch was announced at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 held in New Delhi, where the company also showcased its proprietary AI storytelling stack.

According to a press release, the slate spans mytho-inspired narratives, futuristic fiction and superhero stories rooted in Indian themes but designed for global audiences. The initiative reflects Kuku’s strategy of blending locally resonant storytelling with AI-driven production systems aimed at enhancing speed, scale, quality and personalisation in content creation.

Commenting on the development, Lal Chand Bisu, CEO of Kuku, said the move represents a major step in the company’s efforts to place audiences at the centre of its creative process. He noted that AI is being used as a creative enabler to empower creators, improve production agility and deliver more personalised viewing experiences.

Speaking at the summit, Bisu highlighted India’s potential to lead the development of AI-native consumer platforms, adding that the company has already supported more than 50,000 creators across Bharat. He said Kuku is deploying AI tools to reduce production barriers while improving output quality and creative consistency. The company currently releases hundreds of shows each month and is building capabilities to scale to over 1,000 high-quality, deeply personalised shows per month in the coming years.

Bisu also addressed the long-standing perception that Indian consumers are reluctant to pay for premium content at scale, stating that the company’s growth indicates strong demand for differentiated, mobile-first storytelling experiences. He further outlined Kuku’s expansion beyond Hindi into multiple Indian languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali, as part of its effort to strengthen its vernacular reach and serve a wider audience base.

Alongside the content slate launch, Kuku set up an AI-powered Microdrama Experience zone at the summit, demonstrating its end-to-end AI storytelling infrastructure. The showcase allowed participants to convert simple story ideas into structured screenplays, generate cinematic poster assets, integrate themselves into scenes using AI-assisted tools and explore natural-language content discovery features.

The demonstration highlighted the company’s efforts to build AI-native entertainment infrastructure covering the entire workflow—from pitch and production to promotion—while integrating content intelligence, personalisation and distribution systems. With its expanding creator ecosystem, technology-led operating model and growing vernacular presence, the company aims to strengthen its position in India’s evolving AI-driven content landscape and emerge as a global player in AI-powered entertainment.
