About

The Big Picture Summit is the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) annual flagship event for the Media and Entertainment (M&E) sector, envisioned as a global platform that unites creative and business leaders to chart a roadmap for the industry’s future growth. Over the years, the Summit has established itself as a key forum where policymakers, industry stakeholders, and thought leaders converge to deliberate on strategies that can elevate the Indian M&E sector to new heights.

The Summit provides an opportunity to address the most pressing questions shaping the industry today—

What innovative changes are needed to help the sector scale sustainably?
How can policy and regulatory frameworks be made more conducive to growth?
What makes India an attractive investment destination for global players?
How effectively is the industry embracing disruption and leveraging emerging opportunities?

CII’s continued efforts through the Big Picture Summit aim to strengthen dialogue between industry and government, helping align policy priorities with industry aspirations. The forum serves as a collaborative space where challenges are identified, opportunities are explored, and actionable reforms are recommended to facilitate smoother and faster growth across the M&E value chain.


Over the years, the Summit has witnessed participation from eminent media visionaries, policymakers, and global thought leaders who share insights, explore trends, and define the course for the sector’s evolution. It has emerged as a hub for policy advocacy, strategic partnerships, and investment promotion, creating a forward-looking vision for India’s creative economy to thrive globally.


The 12th Edition of CII Big Picture Summit 2025 will be chaired by Shri Sanjay Jaju, Secretary, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, along with CII National Council on M&E Chair Mr. Gaurav Banerjee (MD & CEO, Sony Pictures Networks India), and Co-Chairs Mr. Rajan Navani (CEO, Jet Synthesys) and Ms. Gunjan Soni (Country Managing Director, YouTube India).
