Creator-led franchises will be more powerful and more profitable in the years to come if they can take a little more risk and own their IPs, said James Murdoch former chief executive officer of 21st Century Fox and now the founder & CEO of private holding company Lupa Systems.
When The Walt Disney Co international operations and direct-to-consumer chairman Rebecca Campbell was scouting for an executive to fill the big shoes of former Star India, Disney India and APAC head Uday Shankar, she did not have to look far.
On one of his trips to India, James and I met the industrialists Mukesh and Anil Ambani. I had recommended to James that we meet them in case there was some form of alliance that could be formed with the Ambani family.
