Recognizing the immense potential of India’s entertainment industry to lead on the global stage, Dish TV India is taking a transformative step with the launch of Content India 2025, an event conceptualised around the content industry.

This initiative, produced in partnership with the UK-based C21Media, will address the need to strengthen India’s content ecosystem by fostering cross-border collaborations, encouraging innovation and showcasing the country’s unmatched capabilities in production, post-production, and content creation, a media statement from Dish TV stated yesterday.

Slated for April 1-3, 2025, the three-day summit will pave the way for the full-fledged Content India 2026 event. Modelled on globally successful formats of partner company C21Media’s Content London and Content Americas, the event will combine a marketplace, conferences, and networking opportunities to bring together key stakeholders, including creators, producers, distributors, platforms, and channels.

With Content India, Dish TV India, a leading content aggregator and distributor of content, will be instrumental in crafting a platform that not only showcases Indian content to the world, but also attracts global players to explore opportunities in India.
