“Young people may come from different contexts, but their aspirations are universal to learn, create, innovate and build meaningful careers. The opportunity is particularly significant in India’s growing AVGC-XR ecosystem, with the Animation and VFX segment projected to reach ₹130 billion in 2026, highlighting the scale of opportunities emerging for skilled creative talent. As we mark 40 years of empowering learners with industry-relevant skills, the focus must be on connecting youth with emerging technologies, industry needs and future career pathways. By nurturing creativity alongside digital and entrepreneurial skills, we can build a future-ready workforce that strengthens India’s creative economy and contributes to the vision of a Viksit Bharat.”
