Mumbai, May 3

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's wife, Amruta, has praised the ongoing World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025, calling it a "phenomenal success" not only in India but worldwide.

While attending Day 2 of the summit, Amruta spoke to ANI and shared her views on the event. She stated that the summit is helping build stronger global ties through culture and creativity.

"It's a phenomenal success. WAVES has created waves not just in Maharashtra or India, but also worldwide... This can create a strong diplomatic and cultural bond between countries, and I love the whole concept," she said.

Meanwhile, the World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025 was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.

The four-day event brings together over 10,000 delegates, 1,000 creators, 300+ companies, and 350+ startups from over 90 countries.

During the summit, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in collaboration with FICCI and CII, unveiled the Indian Institute of Creative Technology (IICT).

The institute aims to bridge the growing demand for world-class infrastructure and talent in India's booming digital content and immersive technology sectors.

Several global companies, including JioStar, Adobe, Google & YouTube, Meta, Wacom, Microsoft, and Nvidia, have agreed to partner with IICT.

This is exactly the kind of global platform India needs! Our creative industry is world-class but often doesn't get the recognition. WAVES putting Indian talent alongside Adobe, Google etc. is a game-changer. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the effort, I hope this isn't just another jumla. The real test will be whether IICT actually creates opportunities for small-town artists and technicians, not just metro elites. The partnerships look promising though!

As someone working in VFX, this is huge! Indian studios already do outsourced work for Hollywood. With proper training from IICT, we can create our own global IPs instead of just being the back office. Exciting times ahead 💻🎬

Cultural diplomacy through entertainment is brilliant! Shows like Sacred Games and RRR proved Indian content has global appeal. More such summits please - beats political posturing any day. Kudos to the organizers 👏

Hope they discuss regional language content too. South Indian films are doing wonders globally but Hindi media dominates such events. WAVES should represent ALL of India's creative diversity, not just Bollywood.

The institute sounds great but will it be affordable? Most private animation/VFX courses charge bomb. If IICT keeps fees reasonable with scholarships, it can truly democratize creative education. Waiting for details 🤞
