The Indian entertainment industry is set to take a giant leap forward with the launch of the first-ever Content India Summit on April 2 at The Taj Lands End, Mumbai. This landmark event will bring together leading Indian and global entertainment executives to discuss the future of content creation, consumption, and distribution in India.
With nearly 150 of the most influential players in the industry attending, the summit will serve as a crucial platform for collaboration, innovation, and partnerships between Indian and international markets. The key discussions will focus on challenges, opportunities, and growth strategies to propel the Indian entertainment industry forward.
The summit will culminate in the Future of Indian Entertainment Report, capturing insights and recommendations to drive both domestic and international expansion.
Content India is a strategic partnership between DishTV and London-based C21Media, a global leader in entertainment news and analysis.
Dish TV’s CEO, Manoj Dobhal, emphasized the rapid transformation of India’s content landscape and the need for industry players to adapt,”The Indian content business is evolving fast, and we must embrace new strategies to stay ahead. The creator economy is booming, audience preferences are shifting, and commercial models are changing. Content India will help navigate these changes and connect India’s content ecosystem with the global entertainment industry.”
C21Media’s founder, David Jenkinson, highlighted the event’s role in fostering international partnerships, “Content India is about setting the pace for the future of entertainment. The summit will bring together the most progressive minds in the industry to discuss new trends, forge key partnerships, and shape the roadmap for India’s entertainment future.”
One of the major announcements at the event will be the expansion of Content India into a three-day mega event in 2026. This future edition will combine:
- A marketplace for content deals
- A high-profile conference with industry leaders
- Exclusive screenings of new Indian and international content
This format follows the success of C21Media’s ‘Content’ event franchise, which has successfully launched in Miami, LA, Warsaw, Toronto, and London.
With rising global demand for Indian content and the growth of digital platforms, Content India is set to become a pivotal hub for collaboration between India’s entertainment industry and global stakeholders.
