The planned investment reflects SHOW's strategy to develop infrastructure that supports content creators, intellectual property development, audience communities and digital monetization. Rather than operating only as a content distribution platform, SHOW aims to build an integrated ecosystem connecting creators, production companies, technology partners and audiences through digital tools and emerging technologies.

Indonesia has become an increasingly important entertainment market in Southeast Asia, supported by expanding digital adoption, a growing creative economy and increasing demand for locally produced content. According to industry data, the country recorded 127 million cinema ticket admissions in 2025 and maintained the largest cinema screen network in Southeast Asia, with 2,375 screens. Local productions accounted for a significant share of domestic box office activity, reflecting growing audience interest in locally developed entertainment content.

"Our investment approach is based on long-term industry trends and the evolving relationship between entertainment, technology and digital communities," said Akshay Melwani, Chief Executive Officer of SHOW. "We believe Indonesia is entering a period where entertainment businesses can increasingly benefit from technology infrastructure, intellectual property development and creator-focused platforms."

Combining Investment Expertise With Entertainment Technology

Before joining the entertainment technology sector, Akshay Melwani built his professional background in institutional finance, including experience in equity research at Macquarie Group and investment banking at Mandiri Sekuritas.

His experience includes corporate valuation, capital markets analysis, mergers and acquisitions and strategic transactions. According to SHOW, this financial background influences the company's approach to evaluating entertainment opportunities through operational scalability, intellectual property development, audience engagement and sustainable ecosystem growth.

"Entertainment companies are increasingly creating value through communities, intellectual property and digital engagement," said Melwani. "The opportunity is expanding beyond content production alone. Technology can help build platforms that support creators, audiences and long-term participation."

Building Technology Infrastructure for the Creator Economy

SHOW said its platform is being developed to connect creators, production companies, technology partners and audiences through an integrated digital ecosystem supported by artificial intelligence, blockchain-based infrastructure and creator monetization tools.

The company believes these technologies can support entertainment businesses by improving operational workflows, expanding digital engagement opportunities and creating new methods for collaboration between creators and audiences.

Melwani said the company applies principles commonly used in evaluating technology businesses, including scalability, operational efficiency, intellectual property development and ecosystem growth.

"We believe the next generation of entertainment companies will combine creative capabilities with technology infrastructure," Melwani said. "Our goal is to contribute to the development of digital entertainment ecosystems where creators and audiences can participate more effectively."

Supporting Southeast Asia's Digital Entertainment Growth

SHOW said its planned investment forms part of its broader strategy to support entertainment technology development across Southeast Asia, with an initial focus on Indonesia.

The company expects the entertainment sector to continue evolving beyond traditional content models as artificial intelligence, digital platforms and creator-driven communities become increasingly integrated into media businesses.

By combining entertainment expertise, technology development and financial market experience, SHOW aims to support the continued growth of the creative economy and contribute to the development of technology-enabled entertainment solutions.
