Mumbai: Reliance Animation, one of India’s most celebrated and influential animation studios, and Rian, a leading next-generation AI-human multilingual dubbing and localization platform, have announced a landmark global content alliance set to transform the way stories travel between India and the world.
This strategic partnership marks a pivotal moment for the entertainment industry, bringing together two leaders from complementary spaces — Reliance Animation, renowned for creating original, culturally rich storytelling, and Rian, at the forefront of cutting-edge language technology. The collaboration will enable Indian content to reach international markets with linguistic and cultural accuracy, while also bringing premium global titles to Indian audiences with flawless localization.
The MoU aims to create a two-way content exchange, breaking down language and cultural barriers while ensuring authenticity and quality across platforms.

With Reliance Animation’s storytelling legacy and Rian’s multilingual dubbing capabilities, Indian IPs can now reach audiences in every corner of the globe, while international creators can instantly connect with Reliance’s massive 6 million strong viewer base in India. Together, we’re making stories travel further, faster, and more authentically than ever before.”
Tejonidhi Bhandare, CEO, Reliance Animation, added, “Reliance Animation has always believed in creating world class content with an Indian soul. Partnering with Rian allows us to take our most loved characters, like Little Singham, to entirely new audiences, while also enriching our home viewers with outstanding content from around the world. This is a win for creators, a win for audiences, and a bold step for the industry.”
More than a commercial partnership, the alliance embodies a shared vision: in today’s interconnected world, stories should travel freely and authentically, reaching new audiences while retaining their essence.
