Dharma Productions, the Indian film production and distribution company jointly owned by Karan Johar and Adar Poonawalla, has acquired Cornerstone’s stake in the talent management company - Dharma Cornerstone Agency.

The company is expanding the venture under the new identity of Dharma Collab Artists Agency (DCAA) - a platform that will represent and strategically build talent across film, music, sports, digital media, and live entertainment.

Uday Singh Gauri will continue as CEO of DCAA, with Rajeev Masand continuing as COO.

Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Dharma Productions, shared, “Talent has always shaped Dharma’s identity, influencing both our creative choices and how we build for the future. With DCAA, we are creating a structured platform that supports artists across disciplines. This is a deliberate and long-term step toward deepening our role in the creative economy.”

Uday Singh Gauri, CEO of DCAA, said, “With DCAA, we’re building a platform that reflects the way artists work, express, and grow today. Representation now goes far beyond negotiation and visibility. It requires cultural understanding, business instinct, and the ability to move with — and ahead of — the industry. Our focus is on developing long-term careers across multiple formats, while creating meaningful pathways between talent and opportunity. This is about scale, yes, but it’s also about care, clarity, and collaboration.”
