When we watch a Netflix India film or series, we often come across stunning places that leave us in awe. But finding these real-life locations isn’t always easy. Now, as Netflix completes ten years in India, it has partnered with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Tourism to help people discover these incredible destinations. Read on to know more!
Netflix India Joins Hands With The Ministry Of Tourism
The Ministry of Tourism and Netflix India have introduced “As Seen on Netflix,” a special section on the Incredible India website. Through this initiative, visitors can discover the real destinations, cultural traditions and local experiences featured in Netflix India’s films and series. It aims to turn on-screen stories into real travel experiences.
The collaboration was announced at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA). Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos also took part in a conversation during the event.

More About This Collaboration
This partnership is built on the MoU signed between the Ministry of Tourism and Netflix India last year. Earlier this year, the Tourism Minister also launched two promotional videos under this collaboration at ITB Berlin. Since then, Indian Missions across the world have been using these videos to promote India’s tourism and culture. Through this partnership, the government also wants to support filmmakers and encourage more shoots across different parts of the country.
Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble Minister of Culture and Tourism, said: “India’s stories have always been our greatest cultural ambassadors. As technology brings the world closer together, our collaboration with Netflix creates an extraordinary opportunity to take India to the world and bring the world to India. Through powerful storytelling, we can showcase the richness of India’s culture, heritage, destinations and wildlife, inspiring global audiences to experience Incredible India firsthand. Together, we are strengthening India’s creative ecosystem while reinforcing our position as a leading cultural and tourism destination.”
