by VARINDIA 2025-08-22

With the rising demand for localized content on OTT platforms, streaming services, and television, this alliance is poised to redefine how audiences experience stories—authentically, inclusively, and globally.

Reliance Animation, one of India’s most iconic and award-winning animation studios, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with Rian, a next-generation AI-human multilingual dubbing and localization platform, to accelerate the global exchange of entertainment content. This strategic MoU aims to make Indian stories travel seamlessly across borders while bringing the world’s best entertainment closer to Indian audiences.

Breaking Language Barriers with AI and Storytelling

The collaboration combines Reliance Animation’s creative excellence in culturally rooted storytelling with Rian’s advanced AI-powered localization and dubbing technology. Together, they will ensure that Indian intellectual properties (IPs) such as Little Singham and other original animated series reach international OTT platforms, broadcasters, and digital entertainment channels in a linguistically and culturally authentic manner.

At the same time, premium global content will be localized for the massive and growing Indian audience, bridging language and cultural gaps and enabling smoother cross-border entertainment exchange.

Anand Shiralkar, Founder & CEO of Rian, emphasized, saying, “This is more than a partnership; it’s a cultural gateway. With Reliance Animation’s rich storytelling legacy and Rian’s multilingual dubbing expertise, Indian content can now travel faster and further, connecting with audiences worldwide. Likewise, international creators gain instant access to Reliance’s 6 million-strong viewer base in India.”

Tejonidhi Bhandare, CEO of Reliance Animation, added, “Our vision has always been to create world-class content with an Indian soul. Through this alliance with Rian, we can now take our much-loved characters to new geographies while also enriching Indian audiences with top-tier global titles.”

A New Era for Global Entertainment

This partnership is not just about business; it reflects a shared vision for the future of entertainment. By leveraging AI localization, multilingual dubbing, and cross-cultural storytelling, Reliance Animation and Rian are building the foundation for a decade of global content democratization.
