Ahmedabad / Mumbai: As India’s media and entertainment sector strengthens its global footprint—driven by rapid OTT expansion, rising regional content production, cross-border collaborations, and growing investment—Content India 2026 has unveiled a powerful line-up of industry leaders for its upcoming three-day edition. The event will be held from March 16–18, 2026, at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, placing it at the centre of India’s commercial and creative ecosystem.
Organised by Dish TV India in partnership with C21Media, Content India 2026 will bring together senior decision-makers and stakeholders from across the content value chain. The curated delegate mix includes top executives from leading broadcasters, streaming platforms, film studios, production houses, distribution companies, technology providers, talent agencies, and investment firms. Discussions will focus on emerging business models, creative trends, financing frameworks, and technology innovations shaping the future of content creation and monetisation.
Positioned as a high-impact business marketplace rather than a conventional conference, the platform aims to enable meaningful dialogue, strategic collaborations, and transaction-driven outcomes. Through keynote sessions, market-focused panels, curated networking forums, and private meetings, Content India 2026 will provide a structured environment for partnerships, commissioning discussions, and co-production opportunities.
As India continues to emerge as both a major content exporter and a fast-growing consumer market, the 2026 edition will emphasise unlocking new growth avenues across domestic and international territories. With the country’s entertainment sector expected to play a significant role in the global content economy, the forum will act as a catalyst for the next phase of industry expansion—bringing together creative leaders and business strategists to shape the future of storytelling across film, television, OTT, animation, and digital platforms.
