RPSG Lifestyle Media debuts Indian edition of The Hollywood Reporter

RPSG Lifestyle Media has unveiled the Indian edition of The Hollywood Reporter in partnership with Penske Media Corporation.

Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, outlined the unique approach THR India plans to take.

‘Hollywood is home to one of the world’s oldest film industries and is the genesis for the multitude of local names that filmmaking communities enjoy all over the world,” she said. “The Hollywood Reporter India will be the first Indian publication that will look at the Indian entertainment industry as a whole. It will celebrate cinematic creativity across languages, regions and platforms, including OTT, digital and theatre. Hollywood may be the oldest, but India is the world’s biggest filmmaking industry and THR India will celebrate that,’ she said.

‘This partnership signifies our continued commitment to fostering global connections and celebrating the culture, vibrancy, and robust entertainment business in India,’ said Elisabeth Rabishaw, executive vice president and co-publisher of The Hollywood Reporter.

‘We’re excited to embark on this journey with the THR India team and bring our editorial voice to the process as we showcase and amplify India's rich and compelling entertainment industry on an international stage,’ said Nekesa Mumbi Moody, co-editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter.

The Hollywood Reporter currently has editions in the US, Italy, and Japan. The appointment of the Editor-in-Chief and other senior positions is in progress. The launch date will be revealed soon.
