Sikhya Entertainment is the most prestigious indie production house in Indian cinema. Acquired by Jio Studios for ₹150 Cr in February 2026 — the largest acquisition of an indie production house in Indian cinema history. Founder Guneet Monga produced two Academy Award-winning documentary shorts (Period. End of Sentence in 2019; The Elephant Whisperers in 2023) — the only Indian producer to win two Oscars. Sikhya's commercial output has been intentionally limited (festival films, prestige indie) but the brand value drove Jio's acquisition price. Now operates as Jio Studios' prestige + awards arm — bringing Oscar-pipeline credibility to a studio that otherwise focuses on mega-tentpoles like D2.
