The collaboration aims to create a “borderless content ecosystem” spanning Hollywood, India, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. It will focus on producing feature films, premium series and micro-series designed for digital platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

A slate of movies is in development, including a Malayalam-language feature. The partnership will also adapt a number of Dr Deepak Chopra’s fiction books, while a new wave of micro-series is being developed that will focus on digital-first storytelling for next-generation audiences.

To lead the original content slate, Beacon Media has appointed author and screenwriter Manini Priyan as head of content.

Aditya Pittie, MD of IN10 Media Network, said: “In today’s connected world, the future of storytelling depends on meaningful collaborations that bring together creativity, technology and reach. This partnership encourages the industry to work more closely, fostering a diverse and inclusive content ecosystem that resonates with global audiences.”
