Our work at Annapurna Studios has also set new benchmarks, and I’m immensely proud of Telangana’s outstanding contributions.”
The WAVES Summit 2025 is a first-of-its-kind initiative bringing together visionaries, creators, and innovators from across the world. The Bharat Pavilion offers dedicated State Pavilions where regions like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh proudly present their cultural richness and creative industries to a global audience.
