Savvy Investors Bet Big on India's Evolving Content Landscape
11 Nov
Summary
- Veteran investors acquire 3.3% stake in VFX firm Prime Focus
- Mobile entertainment startup ReelSaga raises $2.1M in seed funding
- Audio entertainment firms Pocket FM and Kuku FM raise $103M and $85M
In September 2025, veteran stock market investor Ramesh Damani, Madhusudan Kela-owned Singularity AMC, and market veteran Utpal Sheth together acquired a 3.3% stake in visual effects firm Prime Focus for ₹146.2 crore. Earlier this year, in May 2025, ReelSaga, a mobile entertainment startup founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneurs, raised $2.1 million in a seed round led by Picus Capital.
The content and entertainment industry has also seen significant investments in audio platforms. Pocket FM and Kuku FM, two audio entertainment firms, have raised $103 million and $85 million, respectively, this year. These investments signal a shift in investor priorities, as they look beyond box office volatility and subscription fatigue to focus on scalable intellectual property (IP) and mobile-first formats.
According to industry experts, the recent interest from savvy investors is not about betting on a single blockbuster, but rather a strategic play on the broader 'digital India' consumption story. Investors are seeking companies that own the infrastructure, talent, technology, and distribution networks, rather than just the content itself.
