NEW DELHI: The Indian government took a major step forward by establishing the Indian Institute of Creative Technology (IICT), as announced by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw at the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) on Saturday.
The newly formed IICT will function as a centre for developing talent, focusing on the convergence of creativity, technology and innovation, whilst providing opportunities for Indian youth to excel in the global digital content industry.
Demonstrating strong industry support, the institute received formal Letters of Intent from seven leading technology companies — JioStar, Google, Adobe, Meta, Apple, NVIDIA and Microsoft.
These partnerships aim to strengthen the institute's foundation and jointly develop contemporary skills, tools and platforms.
The institute is designed to provide a comprehensive ecosystem that enables innovation, creation and leadership.
"IICT's launch at WAVES 2025 marks a progressive step towards making India a global creative powerhouse since quality talent is the most fundamental building block of the creative economy. At JioStar also, we believe in the power of connectivity combining with the forces of creativity to unlock infinite possibilities," said Sanjog Gupta, CEO – Sports & Live Experiences, JioStar.
"We are proud to support this mission to build a global centre of excellence in Mumbai to drive media innovation. The convergence of talent, technology, and policy will not only redefine the future of consumer immersion, connections and experiences but also cultivate the next generation of high-quality talent ready to lead on the world stage."
