Recrd is at the forefront of a new wave in digital interaction, offering a platform where creators can post and monetize their content through blockchain technology. By leveraging this cutting-edge technology, RECRD enables creators to engage with their audiences in unprecedented ways, allowing for direct monetization and deeper fan connections.
Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd., COO Arghya Chakravarty said, ‘’Our partnership with RECRD marks a significant milestone as we become the first Indian media company to adopt the innovative SocialFi platform. This bold step positions us as a pioneer in the integration of blockchain technology within the entertainment sector, setting new standards for global media. By leveraging these advancements, we empower our audiences to connect with their favorite films in exciting and immersive ways, enhancing user engagement and content monetization. We are eager to explore the transformative possibilities this collaboration will unlock for the industry, solidifying Shemaroo Entertainment’s role as a trailblazer in the future of digital content.’’
Founded by tech entrepreneurs Anoir Houmou and Dominic Frazer-Imregh, Recrd enables instant monetization of expressive videos and converts them into digital collectables, creating a mutually rewarding experience where every participant, including advertisers, engage through tradeable content. The platform presently has three tiers: Platinum, Diamond and Gold, each offering varying levels of revenue share and benefits to creators. Under the partnership, Shemaroo Entertainment will be onboarded as a Platinum Creator.
Speaking on the partnership, RECRD co-founder & CEO Anoir Houmou said, “As a global SocialFi platform, we are ushering in a new wave of monetization for the $250 billion creator economy. Our strategic partnership with Shemaroo Entertainment and foray into India allows us to bring some of Bollywood’s most-loved IPs to a global user base, while empowering the country’s massive base of digital creators and influencers to monetize content and create their own success stories. With digital users preferring to engage directly with their favourite creators, our proprietary REBND feature allows this through dynamic video interactions, as opposed to plain comments or likes. Our integration on the Sui Blockchain will be key to bringing greater transparency and creating an ecosystem where every interaction is mutually rewarded.”
