Expert Statements
Chris McGurk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cineverse
“Samrat has built and operated infrastructure at a scale that almost no one in our industry has ever touched, and he understands our technology better than anyone outside the company because his team helped create it”
Chris McGurk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cineverse
“Our strategy is clear: Cineverse is an entertainment technology company and studio, and we are building the platform on which the industry’s content supply chain and monetization can run, automated, at scale and at a fraction of the cost of legacy approaches. Delivering on that requires board-level expertise in hyperscale architecture, operating discipline and applied AI. Samrat has done all three at Apple and is doing them again in his new venture. His appointment gives our team and our shareholders a director who will hold our technology roadmap, our automation agenda and our AI investments to the highest standard in the world.”

“Matchpoint began as a platform my team co-developed, and today it runs Cineverse’s entire studio operation, from content preparation and delivery through monetization and performance data”
Dr. Samrat Ganguly, Nominee for independent director of Cineverse; founder of FoundationTV
“Chris and the management team have proven something the industry is only beginning to understand: a media business built on modern, automated infrastructure can operate at a fraction of traditional cost, and it can do so with real financial discipline. The same shift that remade computing over the last fifteen years, from hand-built systems to software-defined, AI-driven infrastructure, is now coming to how content is produced, distributed and monetized, and the companies that own the infrastructure layer will capture the value. Cineverse is early and well positioned. I look forward to working with the Board and management to scale it.”
