ZOO Digital expands operations in India with launch of Chennai
facility
ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), the leading provider of
end-to-end cloud-based localisation and media services to the
global entertainment industry, today announces the expansion of its
operations in India with the launch of its new production facility
in Chennai.
The launch of a second multi-purpose facility in India,
alongside Mumbai, is a strategic move to support the production of
dubbing and other media localisation services in regional
languages. The facility will harness the rich pool of local talent
to create authentic localised content, helping to address the
increasing global demand for high-quality South Indian language
content and distribution of non-South Indian titles in India.
This expansion follows a successful first full year for ZOO
India since its integration to the Group in March 2022. It also
highlights ZOO's commitment to meeting the evolving market needs of
its entertainment industry clients, recognising the significant
growth potential of the region with OTT revenue in India predicted
to grow to approximately $4.5bn by 2026.
Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO Digital, said:
"The establishment of our new facility in Chennai marks a
significant milestone for ZOO Digital's operations in India. We are
proud of the success of ZOO India to date, which reflects the
importance of the region to all global streaming services and the
expertise of our talented team. This second facility will scale up
capacity to more than double ZOO India's revenues in FY24, while
catering to the region's wide array of languages and the diverse
post-production needs of our clients."
Rajiv Raghunathan, Managing Director, India, said:
"India plays a crucial role in the global media landscape,
boasting rich linguistic diversity and a vibrant entertainment
industry. As a leading localisation services provider, ZOO Digital
recognises the immense potential of the South Indian market and is
committed to supporting content creators in reaching these growing
international audiences. Our new facility in Chennai further
solidifies our presence in India, enabling us to deliver leading
localisation services and unlock new revenue streams for globalised
content."
