After this summit, every individual present would take home a new and positive vision that would help them get ready for the future and get the key to capturing the $25.2 billion entertainment industry by 2022. Knowing the emerging trends and changing the way we work is important to keep pace with the future. CII has been driving initiatives to take the Indian M&E sector to new heights and expand its global footprint in close collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
