Kuku launched India’s first slate of AI-generated microdramas at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, marking its formal entry into AI-powered microdrama production at scale. The launch took place at the WAVES Creators Corner during the summit.
The slate spans mytho-inspired storytelling, futuristic fiction and superhero narratives rooted in Indian themes and designed for global audiences. The initiative reflects Kuku’s strategy of combining locally resonant storytelling with AI-enabled production systems that enhance speed, scale, quality and personalization.
“We are delighted to introduce our slate of AI-generated microdramas, marking a significant step in our commitment to putting audiences at the centre of everything we do. By leveraging AI as a creative enabler, we are empowering creators to enhance storytelling, improve production agility and deliver more personalised experiences,” said Lal Chand Bisu, CEO, Kuku.
Speaking at the summit, Bisu said India has a significant opportunity to lead the development of AI-native consumer platforms. He highlighted that Kuku has already empowered over 50,000 creators across Bharat and is deploying AI tools to lower production barriers while improving output quality and creative consistency.
The company currently releases hundreds of shows each month and is building capabilities to scale to over 1,000 high-quality, deeply personalized shows per month in the coming years.
Bisu also addressed the long-standing assumption that Indian consumers will not pay for premium content at scale, noting that Kuku’s growth reflects strong demand for differentiated, mobile-first storytelling experiences. He further outlined the company’s expansion beyond Hindi into multiple Indian languages, noting that Kuku already offers content across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali, and is steadily strengthening its vernacular presence to serve a wider Bharat audience.
Alongside the slate launch, Kuku set up an AI-powered Microdrama Experience zone at the summit to demonstrate its AI storytelling stack. The showcase enabled participants to convert simple story ideas into structured screenplays, generate cinematic poster assets, integrate themselves into scenes using AI-assisted production tools, and explore natural-language content discovery.
The demonstration highlighted how Kuku is building AI-native entertainment infrastructure from pitch to production to promotion, integrating content intelligence, personalization and distribution systems into a unified workflow.
With a large creator ecosystem, a technology-led operating model and expanding vernacular reach, Kuku is strengthening its position as a major force in India’s AI-driven content economy and an emerging global contender in AI-powered entertainment.
