Unique global platform for creators: Entrepreneurs praise PM Modi's vision of WAVES 2025

Prime Minister Modi launches groundbreaking global platform for creators, entrepreneurs praise vision of 'Create in India' initiative

"Dream big and tell your story - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, May 3

Entrepreneurs participating in the first edition of the WAVES 2025 have praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'create in India' at the first edition of the WAVES (World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit) 2025.

Speaking to IANS, Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt, said, "This is a very unique initiative by our Prime Minister. I don't think in the world there is something like this. The number of startups emerging in the media and entertainment space, and the kind of potential this industry holds, is huge. PM Modi brought 'Make in India', and now it's time to 'Create in India.' WAVES is a fantastic next step," Gupta said.

The first edition of the WAVES 2025 has received widespread appreciation from India's top entrepreneurs and content leaders. The summit, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to position India as a global powerhouse in the media and entertainment sector, spanning film production, digital content, gaming, music, fashion, and live entertainment.

He also commended Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for his support to the sector and welcomed the idea of setting up a National Institute for Creators, modelled after IITs and IIMs.

"It's commendable that creators are being recognised with dedicated institutions to nurture and grow their talent," Gupta added.

Anupam Mittal, entrepreneur and founder of Shaadi.com, shared a similar sentiment, emphasising India's vast reservoir of culture and storytelling potential. "Soft power is often far greater than hard power. India is a land of millions of stories that need to be told to the world. But we haven't yet succeeded in doing that. I believe this summit is the beginning of that journey," Mittal said.

Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing creators and investors, said: "To the creators of the world -- dream big and tell your story. To investors -- invest not just in platforms, but in people. To Indian youth -- tell your one billion untold stories to the world."

PM Modi also declared the emergence of India's "Orange Economy," signalling a sunrise era for the creative and cultural industries, and underlined India's transformation into a global hub for digital and creative content.

This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking initiative India needs! Our creative talent is second to none, but we've lacked global platforms. WAVES 2025 could be our Hollywood moment 🇮🇳 The 'Orange Economy' concept is brilliant - combining tradition with modern digital opportunities.

As a small content creator from Bangalore, this gives me so much hope! Finally our government is recognizing the potential of digital creators. The National Institute for Creators idea is game-changing - imagine getting formal training like IIT grads do. More power to Indian creativity! ✨

While the vision is commendable, I hope the execution matches the hype. We've seen many 'Make in India' projects that didn't deliver. The government must ensure actual funding reaches grassroots creators, not just big corporates. That said, the potential is enormous if done right.

India's soft power is our biggest asset! From yoga to Bollywood, our culture is loved worldwide. WAVES can take this to next level. Just imagine - regional language content going global, traditional artisans becoming digital creators. This is our civilizational moment 🌍

The gaming industry inclusion is most exciting! India has millions of gamers but we import most content. With proper support, we can create our own PUBG or GTA with Indian themes. Maybe a Mahabharata-based open world game? The possibilities are endless with this initiative.

Hope this isn't just about English/Hindi content creators. India's real strength is in its linguistic diversity. The summit must actively include creators from all regions and languages. A Tamil YouTuber or Bhojpuri filmmaker should get equal opportunities to shine on global stage.
