FTII

Maharashtra Leads The Creative WAVE! Presided over the signing and exchange of a MoU between the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune and the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation Limited (MFSCDC), Mumbai today. This was more than a formal agreement. It was a step taken with the belief and purpose to shape the skilled creative force that Maharashtra and the country need in today’s dynamic landscape. Creativity is no longer limited to studios or stages. It thrives in homes, on streets, and in the hands of young dreamers who turn simple tools into powerful means of expression. These voices are not only inspiring, they are driving an entire economy. In just 100 days, the Creator Economy grew from ₹92,000 crore to ₹1 lakh crore. Such momentum brings opportunity, but also a growing need for structure, training and recognition. Many talented individuals have the skill but lack formal certification. Through this collaboration, the aim is to bridge the gap and ensure access to both training and certification. FTII has long stood for artistic excellence. Maharashtra’s Film City is a cornerstone of professional cinema. When these two strong creative ecosystems come together, a new and more empowered ecosystem will begin to take shape. With every step, Maharashtra moves closer to becoming the heart of India’s creative future powered by skill, driven by ambition, and shaped by endless possibilities. Minister Adv Ashish Shelar, FTII President and actor R. Madhavan and other dignitaries were present. @ShelarAshish @ActorMadhavan @FTIIOfficial @filmcitymumbai_ #Maharashtra #CreatorEconomy #Mumbai
