Inauguration of IICT’s First Campus in Mumbai
India’s creative sector received a major boost with the inauguration of the first campus of the Indian Institute of Creative Technology (IICT) in Mumbai. This initiative aims to elevate India’s presence in the global AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comic & Extended Reality) ecosystem by nurturing industry-ready talent through world-class training and collaborations. The launch aligns with the government’s broader vision to enhance India’s digital and creative economy while integrating emerging technologies into skill development.
The Indian Institute of Creative Technology (IICT) was conceptualized to meet the rising demand for skilled professionals in creative tech domains. The AVGC-XR sector in India is growing rapidly, with increasing global demand for content creation and immersive experiences. Recognizing this, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, in collaboration with the Maharashtra government, initiated the establishment of IICT under a public-private partnership framework.
The IICT marks a pivotal moment in the institutionalization of creative technology education in India. The campus was inaugurated by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the NFDC Complex, Mumbai. The institute will serve as a launchpad for aspiring professionals in animation, gaming, VFX, and XR, helping India emerge as a global leader in digital creativity and production. This will also support employment generation in tech-driven creative industries.
