ProducerBazaar, a Fipchain Venture, Closes Pre-Series A to Build Global IP Trade Infrastructure
CHENNAI / SINGAPORE – March 27, 2026 – Fipchain, the parent entity of ProducerBazaar, has successfully closed its Pre-Series A equity funding round. The investment was led by Singapore-based accelerator River Ventures, marking a strategic milestone in the company’s mission to build institutional infrastructure for global intellectual property commerce.
The round saw strategic participation from Venture Forge Labs, Entrepreneur and Angel investor Mr. Chandu Nair, and a consortium of investors from India, UAE, and Germany. The transaction was supported by advisory firm Panya Capital.
The funding will facilitate Fipchain’s long-term objective of securing a meaningful market share within the global TV, film, video and AI content intellectual property marketplace segment, currently valued at approximately US$28 billion and projected to reach US$47 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 19 percent over the next three years. India is expected to emerge as the second fastest growing market globally in this segment, with a projected CAGR of 22 percent by 2029, driven by increased digital consumption, cross-border licensing demand, and the rapid expansion of streaming platforms.
The broader digital creative economy is projected to surpass US$7 trillion by 2030, fuelled by streaming growth, AI-powered content creation, and expanding international distribution networks. Despite India being one of the world’s largest content-producing nations, the infrastructure for structured global IP trade remains fragmented and relationship-driven. There is currently no dominant Indian-origin platform operating as an integrated IP exchange combining lifecycle governance, rights intelligence, and scalable transaction execution. Fipchain aims to address this structural gap.
ProducerBazaar (A Product of fipchain) operates as a digital marketplace focused on the discovery, licensing, and monetization of intellectual property across films, series, and media assets. By connecting creators, studios, OTT platforms, and international broadcasters, the platform enables structured cross-border transactions within an increasingly borderless digital economy. Fipchain’s broader vision extends beyond marketplace facilitation toward building an integrated IP lifecycle ecosystem that spans governance, rights intelligence, discovery, and transaction enablement, unlocking liquidity in under-monetized IP assets while providing buyers with compliant and curated access to global content libraries.
The proceeds from the funding round will be deployed toward strengthening core technology architecture and accelerating international expansion, with a focus on enhancing AI-driven IP discovery systems, reinforcing scalable infrastructure capable of supporting high-volume cross-border transactions, and deepening presence across key media hubs in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
“This fundraise marks a defining moment in our journey to build a transparent and scalable marketplace for intellectual property,” said G K Tirunavukarasu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fipchain.
Vijay D, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer, added, “Global demand for high-quality IP continues to accelerate. Our focus remains on eliminating inefficiencies and enabling seamless, high-value transactions for studios, platforms, and brands across geographies.”
As demand for premium rights grows worldwide, Fipchain is positioning itself as a structured intermediary in the evolving IP economy, connecting supply and demand through institutional-grade governance and scalable transaction capability.
