RBI Awards Star India Contract for Web Series

Star India has won the contract to produce a five-episode web series celebrating the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 90th anniversary, set to air on national television and/or OTT platforms, as reported by PTI.

In July, the RBI issued a request for proposals (RFP), inviting production houses, TV channels, and OTT platforms to bid on the project, aiming to create a series that enhances public understanding of the RBI's role in the economy, builds trust, and encourages public engagement. While Zee Entertainment Network and Discovery Communications India were unable to progress beyond the technical evaluation stage, Star India and Viacom 18 advanced to the final round, with Star India ultimately securing the contract for a fee of Rs 6.5 crore.

The series will highlight the RBI's 90-year journey, covering its functions, operations, and major milestones. Through compelling storytelling, expert interviews, and high-quality visuals, it aims to clarify complex financial concepts and foster trust in the central bank.

The RBI hopes this series will both inform and inspire viewers, leaving a lasting impact and strengthening the public's connection with the central bank.
