Media Konnect, a global platform designed to universalize the way in which the film industry interacts, was launched in Mumbai on Thursday. It has been developed by Ranjit Thakur, founder of the Krian Group, with an aim to eliminate the middleman talent agent or broker and provide people with individual exposure for skills that span the gamut of the entire entertainment industry.
The platform has over 600 verticals pertaining to the entertainment sector on its website as well as an iOS and Android app. While it is currently in English, Thakur says it will soon be available in India in regional languages and foreign languages as well. The model is free to use and will depend solely on advertising revenue.
