Interactive entertainment platform WinZO, boasting 250 million users, has announced a significant partnership with Balaji Telefilms to develop a transmedia universe. This innovative ecosystem will seamlessly integrate stories, games, and characters across various formats.

In just three months of launching ZO TV, its microdrama platform, WinZO has acquired or commissioned over 500 titles globally in India. This rapid content expansion solidifies India’s position in the USD 26 billion short-drama industry, one of the fastest-growing creative sectors worldwide.

WinZO, known for publishing and distributing over 100 games and fostering a community of 75,000 content creators, is tapping into the needs of its 250 million users in markets like India, the US, and Brazil. The platform has already garnered over 100 million episodes viewed, shaping a new creative economy at the intersection of entertainment, technology, and culture.

The global microdrama industry is experiencing exponential growth in market size, user base, app downloads, and content creation. Projections indicate that the industry will expand from USD 12 billion in 2025 to USD 26 billion by 2030.

To establish a truly global transmedia franchise, India must produce high-quality microdrama content akin to cinema. The exclusive long-term partnership between WinZO and Balaji Telefilms aims to achieve this objective. Balaji Telefilms, renowned for redefining Indian television and streaming content, is collaborating with WinZO to create premium microdramas with cinematic excellence and cultural richness.

WinZO co-founder Paavan Nanda expressed, “We are constructing the world’s first transmedia platform from India, where games, stories, and digital experiences coexist. Through partnerships and investments, we are uniting the entire creative ecosystem. Microdramas represent the next global frontier, and our collaboration with Balaji combines top storytellers and cutting-edge technology to craft authentic, resonant stories for audiences worldwide.”

Ekta Kapoor, joint managing director of Balaji Telefilms, stated, “Our storytelling evolution from television to digital and now to microdramas is fueled by innovation and the quest to deeply engage audiences globally. This partnership with WinZO enables us to create microdramas that mirror India’s evolving digital landscape.”

Nitin Burman, CRO of Balaji Telefilms, added, “Audiences today seek shorter content bursts without compromising on emotion, drama, and connection, the core elements of Balaji’s storytelling. This collaboration with WinZO merges creativity and technology, enhancing reach and interactivity in storytelling like never before.”

WinZO’s vision is to revolutionize the category by prioritizing quality writing, authentic characters, and culturally rich narratives that honor India’s storytelling heritage while paving the way for a global transmedia franchise.
