ErosSTX

Eros STX Global Corporation (stylized as ErosSTX) is a multinational entertainment and media company that creates, produces, distributes, finances and markets film, television and digital media, which includes live events and virtual reality.

The company was founded in 2014 as STX Entertainment and adopted its current name upon merging with Indian film and entertainment studio Eros International in 2020. The company is domiciled in the Isle of Man, and its main offices are located in Burbank, California and Mumbai, India.

The company is led by co-chairmen Kishore Lulla — the son of Eros founder Arjan Lulla, and Robert Simonds — STX chairman and CEO.

Background
Eros International was founded by Arjan Lulla and Koshore Lulla in 1977 as an Indian film and television production and distribution company. The company launched its ErosNow OTT service in 2012, which by 2020 had 26.2 million paid subscribers and the largest library of Indian content in the world. Eros International plc became the first Indian media company to list on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. Subsequently, the company delisted from AIM in November 2013 to list on the New York Stock Exchange.

STX Entertainment was founded by Robert Simonds and Bill McGlashan in 2014 as an American mini-major film, television, and digital media studio. By April 2020, STX had released 34 films, which earned over $1.5 billion in global box office, with hits including Bad Moms, Hustlers, and The Upside.

As ErosSTX
On April 16, 2020, STX announced that it would merge with the Indian film and television studio Eros International plc as Eros STX, in a transaction scheduled to be completed by June. Simonds stated that the merger would create "the first independent media company with the expertise and creative cultures of Hollywood and Bollywood, while also leveraging the important inroads both companies have made into the Chinese market." The combined company will be publicly-traded, inheriting Eros' listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The merger was closed on July 30, 2020, with plans to officially launch the Eros STX branding and listing in September.

Robert Simonds serves as ErosSTX's co-chairman and CEO, Kishore Lulla is executive co-chairman, and Rishika Lulla Singh and Noah Fogelson are co-presidents. Andrew Warren serves as chief financial officer. Prem Parameswaran is head of corporate strategy.
