Mumbai: Chatterbox Technologies Limited (Chtrbox), India’s first publicly listed creator economy company, has announced its international expansion with the Middle East as its first global operational market. Dubai will serve as Chtrbox’s inaugural global hub, positioning the company to strengthen collaboration between creators, brands and platforms across regions.
The move marks a key milestone in Chtrbox’s long-term strategy to build a connected creator economy infrastructure spanning India, the Middle East and other global markets. The expansion reflects the company’s execution-led approach towards creating sustainable, cross-border creator and brand ecosystems.
The Middle East expansion is being led by Raj Mishra, Managing Director & CEO of Chtrbox, and former Country Head of TikTok India. During his tenure at TikTok India, Mishra played a pivotal role in building the platform’s operations from the ground up and scaling its creator ecosystem nationwide. At Chtrbox, he will oversee regional growth initiatives, including expanding the creator network, forging partnerships with brands and platforms, and exploring strategic investments and M&A opportunities in the region.
Commenting on the expansion, Raj Mishra said, “The creator economy is moving beyond borders, and the real opportunity lies in connecting high-growth markets like India and the Middle East. Dubai gives us the infrastructure and access to build that bridge – not just for campaigns, but for long-term ecosystem partnerships, talent exchange, and capital deployment. Our focus is to invest, build, and scale alongside the best creators and brands in the region.”
Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-Founder of QYOU Media Inc., added, “Chtrbox’s expansion into the Middle East represents a significant milestone in QYOU Media’s strategy to build a truly global creator economy platform. With Raj’s proven track record in scaling digital ecosystems and Dubai’s position as a gateway to one of the world’s fastest-growing creator markets, we’re well-positioned to deliver value across multiple geographies. This move strengthens our ability to connect creators, brands, and audiences across borders while creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
With Dubai as its Middle East hub, Chtrbox aims to enable deeper collaboration between Indian and Middle Eastern creators, support brands operating across multiple markets, and actively contribute to the region’s fast-evolving digital content and influencer marketing landscape.
As a publicly listed company, Chtrbox said it will continue to focus on disciplined growth, strong governance and long-term value creation as it expands its footprint beyond India.
