The company was originally founded as Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL) in the mid-1990s, with the aim of operating across multiple segments of the entertainment industry, including film production, distribution, event management, and television content. It was conceived as a diversified entertainment house drawing on Amitabh Bachchan's standing in the Hindi film industry.
After encountering financial difficulties in the late 1990s, the company was subsequently restructured and continued its operations under the AB Corp Ltd identity, with a narrower focus on film production.
AB Corp has functioned primarily as a producer and co-producer of Hindi-language feature films. Its work has typically involved collaborations with other production houses in the Indian film industry. The firm has also been linked to event-related ventures during its earlier phase as ABCL.
As a production entity attached to one of Indian cinema's most recognised figures, AB Corp occupies a notable place in the corporatisation of Hindi film production that gathered pace from the 1990s onward. Its trajectory — from an ambitious diversified launch as ABCL to a leaner production-focused company — is often cited as an example of the financial and operational challenges faced by celebrity-led entertainment ventures in India.
