It's part of their Asia pivot. Netflix invests in fairly high quality Asian TV to try and compete for market share within Asia.

Amazon Prime is doing a similar pivot (fairly successfully I might add) in India.

Disney has dropped out of the Asian market because they just couldn't compete Asian competitors or Amazon+Netflix.

Disney is big in India through Hotstar and Star India which they acquired along with Fox.

Edit: Seems, I wasn't up to date, they are planning to exit India also. Thanks, alephnerd

Disney is selling Hotstar and Star India to Reliance.

It's part of their larger pivot away from Asia and towards building a competitive American streaming presence
