He highlighted India\u2019s structural advantage driven by its young demographic, cultural depth and rising AI adoption and defined 4 pillars of AI native storytelling: every creator becoming a studio through AI production tools; languages going global through real time translation; narratives evolving into participatory experiences; and cultural IP being reimagined through AI led storytelling. He also mapped the emerging 2030 stack spanning generative video, autonomous creative agents, narrative intelligence, immersive interfaces and distribution layers.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in regards to the association with IICT, Neeraj Roy added, \u201cMumbai Tech Week is where innovation meets imagination and there\u2019s no higher stage to speak in regards to the way forward for storytelling. Our partnership with IICT for \u2018Lights, Camera, Code\u2019 is rooted in a straightforward belief that India\u2019s next great creators might be those that can harness technology as fluently as they wield narrative. As AI and immersive media reshape entertainment, an important thing industry and academia can do is construct that talent together and the time is now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vishwas Deoskar, CEO of IICT, added, &#8220;For a long time, India has exported stories to the world through cinema, music and culture. The following chapter is about exporting the technology and inventive talent that may power storytelling itself. At IICT, we&#8217;re constructing an ecosystem where artists, coders, designers and entrepreneurs learn to create together, because the long run of entertainment will belong to those that can mix imagination with intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0Bollywood Hungama report and fan power IMPACT: Project Hail Mary secures shows in ALL 34 IMAX screens in India; Mumbai\u2019s Eros Cinema to play 3:45 am show over the weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for contemporary Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &#038; Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hungama Digital Media Entertainment and the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) successfully hosted \u201cLights, Camera, Code: The Latest Storytelling Stack\u201d on the IICT Campus, NFDC, Mumbai.
