In a spirited address, PM Modi drew a flavorful analogy that captured headlines: “Just like Indian khana (food) has taken over global taste buds, I am confident that Indian gaana (music) will also win hearts worldwide.” His statement underscored India’s rising potential as a cultural and creative powerhouse.

Highlighting the power of technology in shaping stories, the Prime Minister cautioned against its dehumanizing impact. “Humans should not become robots,” he warned, advocating for a blend of creativity with compassion. He also stressed the importance of shielding young minds from harmful and anti-humanity content—a concern that echoes current debates around online platforms.

As India fast becomes a magnet for global film production, gaming, fashion, and live entertainment, PM Modi said the WAVES summit would serve as a launchpad for global talent and collaboration. “Screen sizes may be shrinking, but the impact of our stories is growing exponentially,” he said. “The canvas is now infinite.”
