Orange Corp, a Venture Capital company under the Limited Partner Category, headed by its Indian origin CEO & Managing Partner Debasish Duttah, runs its own integrated Management Consultancy Wing with establishments in nearly 30 countries.

Over the years, the Company has diversified from investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) plug-ins contributing to automobiles, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, production studios to media & entertainment.

For the past couple of years, it has invested in Hollywood cinemas either directly or through consortium arrangement and as production house similar in line to any funding arrangement for an organized industry.

This includes approval of budgets, finalization of cast, execution team and the disbursement of funds.

Films such as Sully starring Tom Hanks, The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch are some of the films from th Orange Corp fold.

According to some industry sources, venture capital companies funding media & entertainment industry is a promising sign.  Although there is growth in the industry in terms of revenue generation, the total number of productions for movies remain almost flat during the past years, being 705 for 2015, 736 for 2016 and 724 for 2017.

The Company plans to invest in media & entertainment industry in India in line with its foreign exposures.

www.ModelsMust.com is an Orange Corp initiative promising a comprehensive online platform for the educational benefits of Indian women working or willing to work in this glamour industry.

This marks the entry of Orange Corp into India and its investments going forward.

Aspiring as well as professional models will find this a source of comprehensive modelling related information.

www.ModelsMust.com provides industry tips and tricks, tried and tested by professionals for the benefit of existing and potential models.

This is designed for establishing a completely unbiased database and forum which will be beneficial for both models and ad agencies or agents for getting projects and contacts.

According to Debasish Dutta,  “The notions girls come up with are quite unimaginable. And by the time they realise their mistakes, a couple of years are already gone – years that are very crucial for a model’s career span and there are chances of landing up into wrong hands. We hope our platform proves to be fruitful for models and helps in increasing their understanding. At least, they’ll be able to make informed decisions.”

This resource, carefully prepared by industry veterans, can be accessed through their website www.modelsmust.com and Facebook page, which has a very rich array of information for models. New topics are added regularly on essential subjects in the field of modelling.

Started just a year back, the platform has received overwhelming response from users, according to the Company.

Most importantly, the access to the forum and database are going to be a game-changer, the Company said.

Girls who are new to the industry especially have to face numerous hurdles because of their lack of contacts. However, this will change once models are able to upload their portfolios to the secured database of the website which can only be accessed by ad agencies or modelling agencies after thorough scrutiny and security check.

The Company said that the platform assures of full background checks of these agencies to avoid placing the information in wrong hands. It is also a paid service for them, while for models creating profiles is free.

Anyone looking for work and contact can post her portfolio which can be viewed by authentic agencies. They may directly contact the model or may also post their requirement in the forum with job details and prerequisites. Interested models can then respond to the thread to contact with the agency, which can then choose candidates according to merit and call the shortlisted candidates for auditions.
