As India’s media and entertainment industry accelerates its global rise—driven by booming OTT consumption, expanding regional content production, cross-border collaborations, and increasing investment—Content India 2026 has announced a powerful line-up of influential industry leaders for its upcoming three-day edition. The event will take place from 16–18 March 2026 at Taj Lands End, Mumbai, positioning itself at the heart of India’s commercial and creative capital.
Organised by Dish TV in partnership with C 21 Media, Content India 2026 will convene senior decision-makers and key stakeholders from across the content value chain. The curated delegate list includes top executives from leading broadcasters, streaming platforms, film studios, production houses, distribution networks, technology providers, talent agencies, and investment firms. Together, they will explore the evolving business models, creative trends, financing structures, and technological innovations shaping the future of content creation and monetisation.
Designed as a high-impact business forum rather than a conventional conference, Content India 2026 aims to facilitate meaningful dialogue, foster strategic alliances, and enable transaction-led outcomes. Through keynote sessions, market-focused panels, curated networking events, and private meetings, the event will provide a structured environment for partnerships, commissioning conversations and co-production deals.
As India continues to emerge as both a major content exporter and a fast-growing consumer market, the 2026 edition of Content India will focus on unlocking new growth opportunities across domestic and international markets.
With India’s entertainment sector projected to play an increasingly influential role in the global content economy, Content India 2026 will serve as a catalyst for the next phase of industry growth—bringing together creative visionaries and commercial leaders to shape the future of storytelling across film, television, OTT, animation, and digital platforms.

As we return in 2026 with an expanded three-day format, the focus is firmly on enabling meaningful conversations, strategic collaborations, and long-term partnerships. India’s content ecosystem is at an inflection point, and through Content India, we invite creators, producers, platforms, studios, distributors, and investors to join us in Mumbai and help shape the industry’s next phase of growth.”
