Creatosphere will spotlight innovation across domains like animation, AI, XR, gaming, music, and comics, culminating in the prestigious WAVES Creator Awards on Day 2 of the event. The global appeal is further underlined by 43 international finalists from over 20 countries, including Sri Lanka, Nepal, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Maldives, the US, UK, Germany, Canada, and Japan.

Domestically, CIC witnessed enthusiastic participation from across all 28 states and 8 Union Territories, ensuring strong regional representation from Assam to Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh to Kerala.

Themed challenges ranged from educational innovation to reviving Indian textiles and drone storytelling, embodying both tradition and technology. With its inclusive reach and creative momentum, the Create in India Challenge reflects India’s emergence as a global hub for media and entertainment innovation, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for WAVES to reach every home and heart.
