WAVEX 2025 to Empower Startups With Skills in Gaming, XR, Metaverse, AI & Next-Gen Media Innovation

Union Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has launched WAVEX 2025, a pioneering initiative aimed at funding and providing national exposure to startups in the media and entertainment sector. Organised in collaboration with the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), WAVEX 2025 will take place at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, as part of the World Audio-Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) which is scheduled to be held from 01st to 04th May, 2025 in Mumbai.

WAVEX 2025 will act as a catalyst for Indian startups to lead this transformation, ensuring they receive the right exposure, and investment, to scale their businesses. Startups will have the chance to pitch their ideas to venture capitalists and celebrity angel investors in dedicated sessions, with extensive national television coverage ensuring maximum visibility.

WAVEX 2025 focuses on gaming, animation, extended reality (XR), metaverse, generative AI, and next-generation content platforms. Beyond funding, the event offers mentorship, investor networking, and collaboration opportunities with major media and technology firms. The event will bring together entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, and industry leaders. This exposure will not only help secure direct funding but also create broader business and collaboration opportunities. The fusion of entertainment and technology transforms how content is created, distributed, and consumed.

WAVEX 2025 will feature two modes of investment pitching sessions. In one session, startups will pitch to venture capitalists and angel investors, while in the other, select startups will present their ideas to a pool of celebrity angel investors. The event will be extensively covered on national television, ensuring wide outreach and maximizing investment avenues for participating startups.

Applications for WAVEX 2025 are now open, and the event will follow a multi-stage selection process culminating in a high-stakes televised finale, where the most promising startups will pitch directly to top celebrity angel investors and VCs. Selected startups may benefit from structured mentorship programs featuring industry experts, investor networking opportunities, and potential collaborations with major media and technology firms.

WAVEX aims to strengthen India’s position as a global hub for media-tech entrepreneurship, leveraging innovation in AI-driven content, digital media, and emerging entertainment technologies.
