**New Delhi, India** – OPPO India has announced a collaboration with Instagram to introduce the OPPO LUMO Creator Program, a new platform aimed at supporting emerging visual storytellers across the country. The initiative, announced on June 2nd, 2026, seeks to enhance the professional standards within India’s growing creator economy and reinforce OPPO’s position in mobile imaging.

The partnership integrates OPPO’s LUMO Image Engine, an advanced imaging technology, with Instagram’s extensive content discovery platform. This collaboration is designed to provide grassroots creators with enhanced tools and opportunities for content creation, expression, and wider discovery.

OPPO Enhancing Mobile Video Quality and Creator Development

A key technical aspect of the collaboration involves redefining the video-sharing experience on Instagram. OPPO’s FindX Series smartphones will now support near-lossless video uploads to Instagram, aiming to ensure that videos retain their original quality, including color, clarity, and dynamic range, from capture to sharing. This development sets a new benchmark for mobile video integrity on the platform.

The OPPO LUMO Creator Program itself is structured as an ongoing initiative featuring:
* **Monthly Themed Challenges:** Focus on youth culture, everyday moments, and diverse Indian narratives.
* **Platform-Optimized Storytelling:** Encouraging content creation specifically for Instagram formats.
* **Content Amplification:** Winners’ content will be promoted across OPPO India and Instagram’s ecosystems.
* **Learning and Growth Opportunities:** Access to masterclasses, mentorship, and on-ground experiences.
* **Certification:** Meta × OPPO certification for program winners.

Participants have been able to submit entries since May 29th, 2026, via Instagram using specific contest hashtags. Entries are evaluated based on engagement rate, creativity, originality, and cultural relevance. Top submissions will also gain global exposure, providing Indian creators opportunities for international recognition. Each monthly challenge will award gold, silver, and bronze categories with prizes including monetary rewards, OPPO smartphones, and IoT products. A jury comprising renowned creators, industry experts, and OPPO imaging specialists will assess submissions.

Goldee Patnaik, Head of Communications at OPPO India (https://www.oppo.com/in/), stated, “Our philosophy of ‘Make Your Moment’ focuses on enabling youth to capture and share their stories. With Instagram, we are actualizing this vision, putting storytelling power into the hands of millions of young creators across India.”

Simon Liu, Global Imaging Director at OPPO, added, “With LUMO Imaging, our aim is to make powerful and effortless imaging experiences universally accessible. India’s creator energy is unparalleled, and we are committed to building imaging experiences tailored for this generation.”

Rishad Chindamada, Vertical Head for Tech, Meta (India), commented on the strategic importance of the collaboration. “The OPPO LUMO Creator Program positions Instagram Reels as the canvas where hardware innovation meets everyday storytelling, translating product capabilities into authentic narratives. By empowering grassroots creators across regional India, we’re delivering both cultural relevance and tangible business impact for brands.”
