Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will personally spearhead the inaugural World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES 2025) in Mumbai.
The WAVES Bazaar will debut as the industry’s first global e-marketplace, facilitating year-round content trade across film, television, music, gaming and digital platforms, while the WaveXcelerator will function as a launchpad for M&E startups, with live pitching sessions and investor matchmaking.
