Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who introduced the event as “a global platform and catalyst for creators, innovators, disruptors and dreamers at the confluence of art and technology,” described WAVES as “a movement inspired by the visionary leadership of our honorable Prime Minister” that aims to position India “at the forefront of the global audio visual and entertainment economy.”
