In a statement, ZOO Digital said: “The launch of a second multi-purpose facility in India, alongside Mumbai, is a strategic move to support the production of dubbing and other media localisation services in regional languages. The facility will harness the rich pool of local talent to create authentic localised content, helping to address the increasing global demand for high-quality South Indian language content and distribution of non-South Indian titles in India.”
