Distribution in India is still mostly a relationships business. A producer wraps a film and then spends weeks calling around — territorial distributors, OTT acquisitions teams, music labels, satellite buyers, overseas distributors for the diaspora. Half the right calls never happen because nobody had the right phone number, and a film that deserved a real release ends up parked.
GTB turns that phonebook into a verified directory. Distributors here are presented by what they actually release — theatrical territories, OTT platforms placed on, satellite deals closed, music catalogues distributed, regional and overseas markets covered. Producers, production houses, music labels, and indie filmmakers search by window — Theatrical, OTT / Streaming, Satellite / TV, Music, Regional, Overseas, Independent, Aggregator — alongside language and city. When a Telugu indie locks picture in Hyderabad, regional theatrical distributors in the South surface first.
Your profile holds your release slate, territories handled, screens reached, OTT platforms you have direct relationships with, music catalogues distributed, overseas markets, GST number (validated), founding year, IMDB, social handles, and current open windows. Filter and be filtered the way a real acquisitions conversation would go.
Every producer, label, and production house on the platform is verified before they can DM you. The other side of the table — directors, writers, casting directors, music department, post houses, marketing and PR agencies — is on GTB too, so deals close inside one verified directory instead of across five separate WhatsApp groups.
Rs. 100 per month or Rs. 900 per year. Application is free. We take 0% when you close the deal.

The complete guide
Everything distribution companies get on GTB
18 reasons GTB has become the verified discovery layer for India's distribution companies.
The problem GTB solves
1.1 The reality today
- Acquisitions teams discover indie films at festivals — six months after the film was ready.
- Producers cold-email the same five distributors; the right regional partner never gets the deck.
- Theatrical, OTT, satellite, music and overseas windows live in five separate spreadsheets.
- Rights conflicts surface mid-deal because there is no shared registry of who holds what.
- Local promotion for a release is run by whoever the producer happens to know in each city.
1.2 What GTB changes
- An acquisitions board where producers and filmmakers pitch verified completed and in-progress content.
- One company profile across every window — theatrical, OTT, satellite, music, regional, overseas.
- A rights & territory board that tracks open and held windows so deals don't collide.
- Local release coordination — promotion crews, PR agencies and event organisers in every city.
- Direct verified access to brands, producers, music labels and production houses on the same platform.

Acquisition Board — discover films & content
Producers, production houses and indie filmmakers post completed and in-progress projects on the Acquisition Board. Filter by language, genre, stage (rough cut, locked picture, ready for release), and window mandate. Every project is uploaded by a verified counterparty with GST and credits validation. Pitches stop being a function of who you went to film school with.
Verified Producer & content-owner connections
The producer and production-house directories sit right next to yours. DM verified production banners directly to express interest in their slate. Every producer is GST-verified and has a credentials-validated profile, so first conversations happen without a layer of agent gatekeeping.
Rights & Territory Board
A shared registry of rights windows — what is held, by whom, for how long, in which territories. Avoid the common mid-deal collision where two distributors discover they were both pitched the same overseas window. Useful for music labels, satellite buyers and OTT acquisitions alike.
Brand Deal & Sponsorship Board
Brand teams, ad agencies and PR companies post sponsorship and branded-content briefs directly on GTB. Filter by category, budget band and integration window, and respond in one click. Every brand on the board is GST-verified and credentials-checked — no time wasted on fake leads.
The GTB Verified Badge
Every distribution company listed on GTB carries the metallic GTB Verified badge — Silver, Gold or Platinum. The badge signals to producers, filmmakers, brands and investors that the company has cleared identity, GST and credentials checks.
Referral Programme
Refer another distribution company, production house, brand or agency to GTB. When they take a paid membership, both sides earn referral credits redeemable against future membership renewals. Track referrals from your dashboard.
Release Announcement Board
Announce locked theatrical, OTT, satellite or overseas release plans. Tag the producer and rights holders. Announcements feed into GTB Today editorial and reach exhibitors and platform programmers.
Song & Label Opportunity Marketplace
Music labels list catalogues and one-off masters open to distribution and sync deals. Browse, shortlist and negotiate inside GTB. The Verrsa Vibe label catalogue and partner-label catalogues are exclusive to verified members.
GTB Today editorial coverage
GTB Today is the editorial arm of the GTB platform. Verified distribution companies are eligible for company profiles, project announcements, interview features and analytical write-ups — coverage that reaches the same audience that uses GTB to discover collaborators.
Pan-India discoverability
GTB is built for India's full geography. Distribution companies based in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Delhi NCR, Kochi, Pune and tier-two cities are discovered by language, region and window. The next collaborator stops being limited to whoever lives in your building.
