“We anticipate increased funding for the education sector in the upcoming budget as we see the growing emphasis on skill development, experiential learning, and research and development. The government’s focus should include initiatives such as tax incentives, industry-aligned training programs and faster patent approvals. Our young entrepreneurs need a strong support system right now. Increased financial incentives, simplified regulatory frameworks, and enhanced incubation support, will further stimulate the technological advancements. The government can establish more centres of excellence. However, it’s important to note that the success of these initiatives will also depend on the active participation of the private sector through public-private partnerships. Support towards these partnerships can enhance learning opportunities among students and make education more accessible. This approach can facilitate interdisciplinary education initiatives and bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, ensuring a more holistic and effective education system.”

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Vice Chancellor, World University of Design:

“As Vice Chancellor of the World University of Design, I see India poised at a critical juncture in the global creative economy. Our animation, AR/VR, and design sectors are demonstrating world-class capabilities, while our educational institutions are producing exceptional creative talent. With the global creative industry projected to reach unprecedented heights – the AR/VR market alone touching $165 billion by 2030 – India has a unique opportunity. By combining our cost-effective talent pool with strategic policy support, we can transform from a service provider into a global creative powerhouse. The time for concerted action is now.”
