Toronto/Düsseldorf, April 2009. Masterfile, one of the world’s leading independent
stock photo agencies, is expanding operations in South Asia by launching local
service for clients in India. Masterfile India, based in Hyderabad, will be the exclu-
sive distributor of the Masterfile Collection in South Asia, serving clients in India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
The launch of Masterfile India is part of Masterfile’s strategy for rapidly expanding new markets in Asia. Partnering with Ramji Ravindran was a natural choice for the global visual content provider — he brings over a decade of experience working with other leaders in stock photography, television and publishing.
Tomas Speight, Masterfile’s Senior Vice President of International, says, “Ramji Ravindran is one of the most highly respected managers in the stock photo industry in India. We are confident that this will prove to be a very successful new partnership and benefit the growing creative community in South Asia.”
Masterfile India will offer local service and pricing, providing clients with direct contact in India for the first time. Mr. Ravindran says, “I am confident that Masterfile India will be able to establish itself as the leading choice for the South Asian design community. When you combine fast, local service with a great website featuring revolutionary search technologies and exceptional imagery, you can’t help but be a crowd pleaser.”
