A Mumbai-based industry veteran, Gayathiri has forged strategic partnerships with entertainment giants including Sony Pictures, Disney, Star, Reliance, Viacom and Lionsgate. Over 25+ years she has developed, financed and commercialised more than 55 films and brought over 2,500 hours of premium content to audiences across 70+ countries — bridging creative ambition with strategic execution.
An expert in project development, content packaging and platform-agnostic commercialisation strategies, she works across the full entertainment value chain — from structuring international co-productions and securing strategic financing to positioning projects for global buyers and developing long-term intellectual property.
Instrumental in expanding Indian cinema's global reach, she spearheaded market entry into China, Taiwan, South Korea, Morocco, Spain, Egypt, and Russia. Notably, her efforts in reopening the Russian market to Bollywood films after a 30-year hiatus earned recognition from the Cultural Minister.
