Observer Research Foundation, New Delhi, April 2020:
The Observer Research Foundation and the Esya Centre organised a roundtable to identify the Media & Entertainment sector’s challenges, emergent trends, and potential pathways to recovery. The discussion was framed using the triad of (a) policy and regulatory environment; (b) future of work and of production; and (c) the imperative of value preservation, with a focus on achieving consensus on remedial action. The key government ministries and regulators that were discussed included the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which plays a central role in the M&E sector.
