Executives from Netflix, Prime Video, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery converged at APOS 2026 in Bali this week with a shared conviction: Asian IP and local storytelling are no longer regional plays but the streaming industry’s most valuable global assets.

During the session “Asia’s Streaming Advantage: Growth, Profitability and What’s Next,” Netflix VP of content for APAC (ex-India) Minyoung Kim, Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios VP for APAC and ANZ Gaurav Gandhi, Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific senior VP and general manager of direct-to-consumer Tony Zameczkowski and Warner Bros. Discovery president APAC James Gibbons mapped out how each platform is navigating an increasingly competitive landscape across the region.
