“India’s digital and creator economy is expanding rapidly, and music rights and licensing frameworks must evolve in line with today’s content creation and consumption patterns. Music continues to play a central role across short-form video, branding, gaming, and emerging digital formats, yet licensing remains fragmented and complex. There is an urgent need for technology-led, transparent licensing systems supported by a clear and future-ready copyright and legal framework—one that ensures fair creator compensation while making compliance easier for platforms, brands, and users. As AI-generated music and new forms of digital creation gain momentum, clearly defined usage norms and ownership guidelines will be critical. Alongside this, targeted support for startups and MSMEs will be essential to building a sustainable and globally competitive music and creator ecosystem.”

“With rising domestic and global demand, Budget 2026 has the opportunity to accelerate India’s food processing ecosystem through well-designed, outcome-linked policy support. Measures such as PLI schemes for large-scale processors, export-oriented incentives, investments in cold chain infrastructure, and support for backward integration can strengthen supply chains from farm to factory, attract greater entrepreneurial participation, and unlock the full potential of sectors like frozen foods. Together, these steps can help India scale its role as a dependable global supplier of value-added food products.”
