About Cosmos Maya

An animation studio for children's television across India and Singapore

Cosmos Maya produces 2D and 3D animated content, mostly for children, with bases in India and Singapore. It describes itself as India's leading animation studio and says it has long-standing working relationships with broadcasters and digital platforms. Its site is divided into a domestic business, Cosmos India, and Cosmos International, a separate line for work abroad.

Origins and ownership

The studio was founded by two acclaimed Indian filmmakers. In 2021 a Hong Kong private equity firm, NewQuest Capital Partners, took a controlling stake after an earlier investor left the company, according to its site.

Characters and series

Its output is built around its own characters. The properties it names include Motu Patlu, which it calls its flagship, Vir: The Robot Boy, Eena Meena Deeka, which it says was its first show made for international markets, and Kisna. A more recent series, Ghost Mera Dost, follows a fourteen-year-old who wants to be a director and makes amateur films, together with his invisible and mischievous ghost best friend, who is a rock star. The studio's own account of its first five years puts the tally at twelve television series and more than a thousand half hours produced.

Wowkidz on YouTube

Wowkidz is the studio's YouTube channel for kids, started in June 2015 and available worldwide. It carries videos from its main properties across action, adventure and comedy. The studio has also described a move into merchandising to strengthen its brand portfolio.

Training

The company also has a Cosmos Creative Academy, headed by a dean with a long career in computer graphics and visual effects, which sits alongside its production work.

Where it fits in the market

The studio's site says the demand for animation as a way of storytelling in India has grown many times over, and that strong players are needed to meet it. It positions its characters and series as ones that have entertained Indian children for more than a decade,.
