    Pinkvilla & Mad Influence launches ‘Creators United’ for content creators

    Mumbai: India’s leading digital entertainment & lifestyle platform, Pinkvilla, and one of the country’s largest influencer agencies, Mad Influence, have partnered to launch a new joint entity, Creators United, the first-of-its-kind creators’ confluence in India. 

    The maiden edition of the event will be held in Goa in January 2023. The event is slated to be a two-day exclusive congregation that brings the country’s best content creators, influencers, brands, publishers, and social media platforms under one roof.

    The joint venture was announced with an interesting teaser campaign.

    The partnership aims to positively influence those who influence billions and celebrates content in all its forms, with the theme “It starts with you.”

    With extremely unique experiential events giving creators access to exclusive activities over two days, it will enable the most compelling live experiences for creators, such as networking sundowners, special content zones, music, wellness and mindfulness activities, brand collaboration initiatives, and much more. It will also honour the leaders of today’s conversations through an awards ceremony, recognising the many diverse and influential voices in India.

    Curated to present experiences of a lifetime, the property is built on the mutual passion shared by Pinkvilla and Mad Influence to pioneer the most happening conversations in the digital space, which has made them instrumental forces in shaping the future of Indian digital content today. The joint venture is built on a long-term vision to define how content creators can engage audiences in a meaningful and growth-oriented way in the new digital era. Beginning with the flagship event, the two content giants aim to amass their enormous collective reach of over five billion through influencer-led branded content, to drive meaningful change and lead important conversations shaping the future.

    Speaking of the partnership, Pinkvilla CEO and founder Nandini Shenoy stated, “At Pinkvilla and Mad Influence, we share a mutual passion for pioneering the most compelling content experiences, and creators have played a key role in this journey. With the continual goal to evolve and elevate the bar for far-reaching content, through Creators United we aim to curate experiences that will define how we engage audiences and consumer media in the future, and transform influencer-brand narratives in the most positive ways!”

    Adding to it, Mad Influence CEO and founder Gautam Madhavan said, “Mad Influence and Pinkvilla share the same vision of building the largest community of influencers globally with Creators United. Content needs to be celebrated, not just created, and that is what we are building for the future. Through this highly-curated experience for the digital changemakers of the world, we aim to amplify the biggest and brightest voices in the world and enable them with a platform that provides a 360-degree value-driven event experience.”

    Creators United’s director Karan Sawhney said about the newly launched venture, “Successful events are the ones that add immense value to the lives of the attendees, while also curating an experience of a lifetime, through exciting and creative offerings. This is precisely our aim, as we bring together some of the biggest influencers, content creators, and brands on a scale never seen before through Creators United. With this one-of-a-kind celebration that merges the most avant-garde activities and wide-ranging transformative content experiences, we aim to push the boundaries, not just for the emerging creators’ economy, but also for the future of the events space in India.”

    Suresh Triveni launches his creative studio; Abundantia Entertainment to back the venture

    Mumbai: Critically acclaimed director of films like “Tumhari Sulu” and “Jalsa,” Suresh Triveni on Thursday announced the formation of his creative studio and production house ‘Opening Image,’ in association with Vikram Malhotra-led Abundantia Entertainment. This alliance aims to create and produce content across mediums.

    Opening Image is set to partner with studios and platforms that share its vision of bringing high-quality stories to screens of all sizes and dimensions and is language and genre-agnostic. “The studio will be an end-to-end entity with an ability to work from idea to screen. An exciting slate of films and series is already under development at the newly-formed company and the list includes Suresh’s next directorial ventures as well as content that he’s set to showrun,” said the statement. “It will also host a first-of-its-kind script lab which will enable creators to develop their ideas with the best writers and creative minds available to collaborate with.”

    Triveni shot to fame with the popular ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertising campaign during the cricket World Cup matches between India and Pakistan. In 2017, he made his Bollywood feature film debut with the Vidya Balan-starrer “Tumhari Sulu,” a slice-of-life film, chronicling the life of an enthusiastic housewife who suddenly lands a lucrative job as a radio jockey. The film was an instant hit and swept most awards that year between the lead actor, the director and the film itself.

    “The idea of ‘Opening Image’ is to empower talent – writers, filmmakers, technicians. to offer fresh, exclusive and original stories tailored for viewers across the globe,” Suresh Triveni said. “The vision behind Opening Image is to curate disruptive stories and provide a platform for creators, especially fresh and young talent, to deliver their best. I am delighted to extend my partnership with Abundantia Entertainment and Vikram to the next level and in them, I have found the right backers for my vision.”

    The backing of Suresh Triveni’s venture is a further step in Abundantia Entertainment’s commitment to support and enable its creator partners and incubate high-potential talent, according to the statement.

    “Abundantia Entertainment believes in the power of stories and the vision of storytellers. This philosophy is strongly demonstrated in the body of work that team Abundantia has delivered in its young journey, highlighted by the recent success of ‘Jalsa,’” commented Abundantia Entertainment founder and CEO Vikram Malhotra. “Suresh has been a fabulous collaborator and friend and I am proud that we are now taking the next step in our relationship as he launches Opening Image. I am excited with the promise and potential of Opening Image and can’t wait for Suresh and the team to tell their brand of stories to the world.”
