"It's the election year and a great opportunity for everyone to revisit their policies. What can be a better year to bring different things to spotlight during electios," he said.

Big names from various fields will support the event.

This edition is described as the landmark edition of the covention as it marks fifteen years of its inception with Australia as the partner country.

Filmmaker and co-chair of FICCI Ramesh Sippy says they will analyse the growth in the media and entertainment industry.

"Despite setting new records in the industry, the growth is not really seen on papers and we need to find out why. Why the result is not as much as it has to be? The potential is there, but we are way behind American films," said Sippy.
