In a major development for the Indian entertainment industry, Reliance Industries Limited has strengthened its media footprint as Reliance Strategic Business Ventures Limited acquired a 50.1% equity stake in Sikhya Entertainment Private Limited. The acquisition, completed on February 3, 2026, is valued at ₹150 crore and marks a significant consolidation move for Jio Studios within the global content ecosystem.
The deal positions Jio Studios, the media and content arm of Reliance Industries, as a majority stakeholder in one of India’s most respected production houses. Founded by Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain, Sikhya Entertainment holds a unique distinction as the only Indian production company to have won both an Academy Award and multiple National Film Awards, making the partnership a strategic and symbolic win.
Sikhya Entertainment has long been known for championing meaningful, creator-driven storytelling with global appeal. From independent gems to internationally celebrated cinema, the company has built a reputation rooted in authenticity and creative courage. The alliance with Jio Studios is expected to significantly scale Sikhya’s reach while preserving its strong creative identity.
Announcing the partnership, Sikhya Entertainment described the moment as the beginning of a new chapter, emphasizing shared values around powerful storytelling and belief-driven growth. The production house expressed gratitude to Jyoti Deshpande and Jio Studios for backing stories that matter and supporting voices that deserve to be heard on a global stage.
With this acquisition, Jio Studios continues its aggressive expansion strategy, blending scale, capital, and creative excellence. As India’s media landscape evolves rapidly, the Jio–Sikhya partnership signals a future where commercially strong platforms and award-winning storytelling come together to shape cinema that resonates both at home and worldwide.
