Whacked Out Media Pvt. Ltd. a leading digital media distribution company in South India, announced the opening of its office in Singapore. The company’s expansion follows four years of major growth in India across its services offerings that include celebrity management, film promotion and branding, strategic partnerships with YouTube as a MCN (multi channel network), Google and Facebook, along with customer wins that demonstrate
it’s high adoption.
Whacked Out manages the social media profiles of more than 220+ celebrities of the South Indian film fraternity. It has distributed 4000+ films and over 0.514 Millionhours of movies, kids, news, devotional and audio content along with TV shows.

The Asia-Pacific expansion, with a major focus on acquiring customers in the region, will now be driven out of Whacked Out Media’s office in Singapore, led by Rama Krishna Veerapaneni, Managing Director and his Acquisitions and Syndication team. With deep-rooted associations in the content industry, Ram has over 16 years of extensive experience in content acquisition, distribution & copyrights management. Although his journey began in the mainstream traditional cinema distribution space, Ram has developed immense domain knowledge of the digital content ecosystem, which has been the essential ingredient of the company’s success.
“Singapore’s robust infrastructure and strong connectivity to the rest of the region makes it the optimal city to locate in, for our Asia-Pacific operation,” said Ram Veerapaneni,Managing Director, Whacked Out. “Through policies that welcome global business, Singapore has built a strong ecosystem of innovation that will be beneficial for us to join. Our expansion will allow us to quickly respond to the growing demand in the region for digital media distribution.”
Multiple trends and statistics make APAC a very attractive market for a digital content distribution leader such as WhackedOut. First, in Asia, as in other parts of the world, consumers are actively exploring digital and Internet platforms to watch TV and movies. Given the various digital channels available to users today, both content production and content distribution is going to dominate as a trend in 2015 observes Whacked Out.
Second, APAC is a rapidly growing market in its consumption of digital/social media. As per industry statistics, the Asia Pacific region accounts for more than half of all social media users worldwide.
