Chatterbox Technologies (Chtrbox), India’s first publicly listed company focused on the creator economy, has announced its entry into international markets, with the Middle East becoming its first global region of operation and Dubai named as its regional headquarters.
This strategic move marks Chtrbox’s debut beyond India and reflects the company’s larger vision of building an interconnected creator economy spanning India, the Middle East, and other key global markets. Dubai will serve as the operational nerve centre for the region, facilitating closer collaboration between creators, brands, and digital platforms across borders.
The Middle East expansion will be spearheaded by Raj Mishra, Managing Director and CEO of Chtrbox. Mishra, who previously served as Country Head of TikTok India, will lead regional growth initiatives, including expanding the local creator ecosystem, forming partnerships with brands and platforms, and evaluating strategic investments and M&A opportunities to drive scale.
With Dubai as its base, Chtrbox plans to enable stronger cross-market collaboration between Indian and Middle Eastern creators, support brands with a presence in both regions, and play an active role in shaping the rapidly evolving influencer marketing and digital content ecosystem in the Middle East.
The company said the expansion aligns with its execution-focused growth strategy, prioritising sustainable ecosystem development over aggressive, short-term scaling. As a publicly listed organisation, Chtrbox reiterated its commitment to strong governance, operational discipline, and long-term value creation as it expands internationally.
Mishra said, “The creator economy is moving beyond borders, and the real opportunity lies in connecting high-growth markets like India and the Middle East. Dubai gives us the infrastructure and access to build that bridge – not just for campaigns, but for long-term ecosystem partnerships, talent exchange, and capital deployment. Our focus is to invest, build, and scale alongside the best creators and brands in the region.”
Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-founder of QYOU Media Inc, added, “Chtrbox’s expansion into the Middle East represents a significant milestone in QYOU Media’s strategy to build a truly global creator economy platform. With Raj’s proven track record in scaling digital ecosystems and Dubai’s position as a gateway to one of the world’s fastest-growing creator markets, we’re well-positioned to deliver value across multiple geographies. This move strengthens our ability to connect creators, brands, and audiences across borders while creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
