The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) and the Indian Institute of Creative Technology (IICT) announced a landmark partnership with Netflix India to nurture India’s AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics & Extended Reality) talent.
The MoU was exchanged in the presence of Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India, at the 25th edition of FICCI Frames.
The collaboration will leverage IICT’s academic and research capabilities, FICCI’s extensive industry network, and Netflix’s creative expertise to build the next generation of creative technology professionals in India.
As part of this initiative, IICT will develop industry-driven curricula, while students will benefit from workshops, masterclasses, and guest lectures by leading professionals.
The partnership will also provide scholarships to select students through the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity, supporting underrepresented talent in the media and entertainment sector.
Additionally, Netflix will participate in IICT’s national councils — R&D Council, Academic Council, and Industry Development Council — offering strategic guidance to strengthen India’s AVGC-XR ecosystem.
