Deepak Chopra’s Beacon Media Partners With India’s MovieVerse
Beacon Media, the entertainment company co-founded by renowned wellness expert Deepak Chopra, has recently teamed up with MovieVerse Studios, the mainstream content division of India’s IN10 Media Network. This strategic partnership aims to amplify Global South content across various platforms, targeting an audience of over three billion viewers spanning Hollywood, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
The collaboration between Beacon Media and MovieVerse Studios is positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for diverse international content. The companies have ambitious plans in place, ranging from traditional feature films to short-form series tailored for platforms like TikTok.
Vivek Krishnani, CEO of MovieVerse Studios, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the importance of bringing culturally authentic narratives to a global audience. Meanwhile, Manoj Narender Madnani, Chair of Beacon Media, highlighted the significance of collaboration in the industry, emphasizing that working together is key to success.
Both companies are placing a strong emphasis on digital-first content, with projects in the pipeline designed specifically for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Among the initial projects are a Malayalam-language film aimed at global viewers and adaptations of bestselling fiction written by Deepak Chopra.
To oversee their content slate, Beacon Media has appointed author-screenwriter Manini Priyan as head of content. Additionally, the company has formed a production partnership with former MBC Group drama director Fadi Ismail, who is focusing on creating Arabic content for digital platforms.
The partnership between Beacon Media and MovieVerse Studios takes advantage of the growing economic ties between India and Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E., which are significant investors in India’s entertainment and technology sectors. Aditya Pittie, Managing Director of IN10 Media, believes that this collaboration will help create a diverse and inclusive content ecosystem that resonates with global audiences.
Beacon Media distributes its content through Lounges.tv, a platform with backing from notable figures like Simon Cowell. On the other hand, IN10 Media’s portfolio includes popular channels such as Epic, ShowBox, and Filamchi Bhojpuri, as well as the streaming platform DocuBay and the production house Juggernaut Productions.
With a focus on creating engaging and culturally relevant content for a global audience, the partnership between Beacon Media and MovieVerse Studios is poised to make a significant impact in the entertainment industry. Stay tuned for exciting projects and collaborations coming soon.
