In the WAVES summit, giants from the media and entertainment industry and people from the creative world will come to India. This summit is an important step towards making India a hub of global content creation,” said Modi.
“When we are moving towards a 5 trillion dollar economy, our creator economy is bringing in a new energy. I would urge the entire entertainment and creative industry of India – whether you are a young creator or an established artist, associated with Bollywood or regional cinema, a professional from the TV industry, an expert in animation, gaming or an innovator in entertainment technology – to be a part of the WAVES Summit,” the prime minister added.
