Sony Pictures sharpens India focus amid M&E shake-up

Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE), the entertainment arm of Tokyo-based Sony Group Corporation, is intensifying its focus on the Indian market as the country’s media and entertainment (M&E) sector undergoes rapid transformation, a top company official said.

SPE CEO Ravi Ahuja, who assumed office in January, noted that the boom in India’s M&E industry is being driven by strong economic and population growth. He also acknowledged that the company’s Indian operations are being reshaped following the failed merger with Zee Entertainment over a year ago.
