Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Wednesday to unveil the Netflix India Storytelling Initiative, a multi-phase investment in the country’s creative talent pipeline.

The initiative builds on more than a decade of partnership between Netflix and India’s creative community, during which the streamer has produced over 200 originals and shot in more than 100 locations across the country. It is designed to prepare emerging talent for careers in animation, visual effects, gaming and comics, an area Netflix describes as a key driver of India’s “Orange Economy.”
