Robojit and the Sand Planet Positions for Global Expansion
As a fully matured sci-fi universe, the project is ready for global adaptation.
The sci-fi franchise Robojit and the Sand Planet is rapidly increasing its global visibility as a transmedia intellectual property (IP), positioned for development into a long-term, multi-format global entertainment franchise. Writer and media entrepreneur Rakesh Raman is spearheading the acceleration of its global expansion, aiming for international collaborations across platforms including film, streaming, animation, gaming, and interactive media. Raman’s specific direction is to establish Robojit as India’s first major global sci-fi superhero.
The project has a long history, having begun as a novel more than a decade ago. Raman started writing Robojit and the Sand Planet in 2009. Early in its development, Raman’s writing experiments with “Twiction”—fiction published via Twitter—were profiled by Reuters, recognizing him alongside global innovators experimenting with digital literature. The novel is currently available in print and accessible through Amazon and MyPustak, further solidifying its literary presence.
The central Robojit story involves a young prince, his steadfast companion, and a humanoid warrior named Robojit who undertake a journey across a mysterious desert world to confront a galactic tyrant. This narrative structure blends mythic adventure, futuristic conflict, and spiritual undertones. The worldbuilding is richly imagined, featuring mystical realms, vast deserts, strange skies, and diverse planetary cultures.
The franchise is built around universal themes such as courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and responsibility, intended to resonate strongly with international family audiences and provide a foundation for natural expansion into sequels, games, animation, and immersive experiences.
Robojit’s character combines mentorship, spirituality, courage, and futuristic combat, creating a blend designed for global marketability and strong merchandising potential. The character’s appeal is compared to iconic franchises such as Avatar (mythic environmentalism), Star Wars (heroic journeys), Transformers / Mecha universes (humanoid guardians), and Harry Potter (coming-of-age epic tone), as well as Anime fantasy worlds.
As a fully matured sci-fi universe, the project is ready for global adaptation. The IP currently includes an expansive storyworld, a novel, concept art, a screenplay, and essential pitch materials. Raman has already expanded the project’s presence by developing localized pages with posters and regional information for countries including Japan (日本語版), China (中文版), and Germany (Deutsch).
To facilitate global collaborations, Raman has expanded the project’s visibility across several platforms, including the International Screenwriters’ Association (ISA), FilmFreeway, and IMDb (pending approval), alongside developing industry-targeted outreach materials and a new Press Kit. These concentrated efforts are aimed at connecting with various partners, including film and animation studios, OTT/streaming platforms, game developers, co-production partners, transmedia strategists, and licensors/merchandising partners.
In parallel with the Robojit franchise, Raman has authored nearly ten books for children and young adults, most notably the “Raman’s Tech Tale Series – Knowledge Stories for Children”. This series uses fiction to introduce technology concepts, a pioneering format that led to its feature in Bookbird, the global journal of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY).
Raman is currently modernizing this series into AI-enhanced multimedia formats to expand access to tech education through interactive storytelling. His most recent release, the “AI for Kids Picture Book,” simplifies complex AI concepts—such as how AI makes decisions, machine learning, and ethics—for young readers aged 5–10, encouraging early exposure to responsible innovation and digital awareness.
