India as a Global Entertainment Hub – Modi's Goal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working to establish India as a global entertainment hub through initiatives like WAVES 2025 and the "Create in India Challenge." This effort aims to boost the country's entertainment, creativity, and cultural industries, with the introduction of new competitions and partnerships, offering fresh opportunities for India's youth.
With the goal of developing India as a global entertainment hub, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the WAVES (World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit) Advisory Board meeting. Industry leaders and experts from across India and the world participated in this meeting. Under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, WAVES 2025 will be held from February 5 to 9. The “Create in India Challenge – Season 1” will be launched to promote entertainment, creativity, and culture. This will be a major attraction at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) to be held in Goa in November.

Rahman participated. Additionally, Prime Minister Modi had discussions with business leaders like Mukesh Ambani, Satya Nadella, and Anand Mahindra. In December 2024, Modi announced the launch of the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES).
