What we’re about
## About This Group
This group is a learning community for people who want to understand how UK public markets, global cinema, artificial intelligence, and creative IP–driven businesses are evolving and intersecting in today’s world.
We explore how storytelling, technology (including AI), and capital markets are reshaping the film and entertainment industry, and how new, tech-enabled studio models are emerging in response to global streaming, changing audience behaviour, and cross-cultural demand.
The group is founded and hosted by The Pratik Shelar Film Company, a London-based, AI and tech-oriented, IP-driven film studio developing large-scale international projects with strong Indian cultural roots and global appeal. The company’s journey is shared purely as a real-world case study to support discussion and learning.
