Prime Focus Technologies (PFT) on Tuesday announced that it has secured a first round of funding from growth capital private equity fund, Ambit Pragma. PFT is the technology subsidiary of Prime Focus, a media and entertainment services company.

We are delighted to have a like-minded partner in Ambit Pragma who appreciates the realities and opportunities within the M&E industry”.

Rajeev Agrawal, CEO, Ambit Pragma, “PFT is a global pioneer addressing the challenges content enterprises are facing in this hyper digital market through their cutting-edge technology. The architectural road map of the product, its multiple use cases and their management’s thought leadership, represent a compelling opportunity for us to make the investment.”

PFT’s CLEAR Media ERP suite and Cloud Media Services have been successfully deployed for the last eight years in global M&E companies such as 21st Century Fox-owned Star India, Novi Digital – Hotstar, Miramax, Disney, Warner Bros, Global Eagle Entertainment, Cricket Australia, CBS Television Studios, 20th Century Fox Television Studios, FX Networks, Crown Media Holdings, Legendary Pictures, Starz Media, Lionsgate, A+E Networks, HBO, Mnet, CNBC Africa, SABC, IFC Films, HOOQ, Sony Music, Voot, Hearst Television, Showtime, BCCI, Indian Premier League and The Associated Press, among others.
