Tech Meets Talent: The Acquisition Reshaping India’s Creator Ecosystem
Collective Artists Network, India’s leading new media entity focused on pop culture, has acquired Galleri5, an AI-powered influencer marketing analytics and content management platform, The Economic Times reports.
Galleri5, founded nine years ago, specializes in AI-powered content solutions and influencer marketing technology. Its suite of offerings includes AI visual content generation, creator intelligence, campaign management, and trend forecasting. These tools help India’s major retailers and brands forge meaningful connections with their audiences.
Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and CEO of Collective Artists Network, states, “This acquisition of Galleri5 is a giant leap in integrating deep tech and AI into our ecosystem, enhancing our ability to provide cutting-edge solutions for our talents, content platforms, and brands.”
The acquisition is part of Collective Artists Network’s strategic expansion. Earlier this month, the company acquired Terribly Tiny Tales, a text-first flash fiction platform. In September 2023, it acquired Under 25 Universe, India’s largest tech-powered student community, to empower student culture within the creator ecosystem.
Rahul Regulapati, Founder of Galleri5, comments on the merger, “Our journey has been about challenging the status quo and redefining brand engagement. Partnering with Collective Artists Network offers an expansive platform to scale our vision.”
According to The Economic Times, integrating Galleri5’s AI technology into Collective Artists Network’s operations is expected to enhance storytelling, trendspotting, and research capabilities.
