Commenting about this, Bhavik Vora, chief executive of Black White Orange, said,
Our business thrives on innovation, and currently there is so much untapped opportunity in this segment. We are constantly looking at collaborating with like-minded people who can not only add tremendous value to our business, but also come on board as strategic partners in growing this business.
We are in the business of brand licensing and IP creation and the foundation of this business is our ability to create high-quality creative assets, in order to translate these to various products, thus bringing the brand experience for fans on the ground. As our portfolio expands, there will be a constant need to build on this foundation and to also acquire cult international properties and bring them to India.
