The 12th CII BIG Picture Summit 2025 will be held December 1–2 in Mumbai, themed “The AI Era: Bridging Creativity & Commerce.” Co-hosted with India’s Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, this edition debuts CII’s first Global Media & Entertainment Investor Meet with WAVES Bazaar, integrating its project showcases and B2B pitching into the CII Marketplace to enable curated one-on-one meetings between global investors and high-potential Indian M&E ventures. The summit is chaired by Sanjay Jaju (Secretary, MIB) and Gaurav Banerjee (MD & CEO, Sony Pictures Networks India), along with Rajan Navani (Jet Synthesys) and Gunjan Soni (YouTube India). The agenda aims to catalyze investment across film, streaming, gaming, animation, VFX, and live entertainment, with additional participation from WAVEX and WAVES Creatosphere to support startup collaboration. 

Vitrina has been named the summit’s Global Financing Partner. Vitrina’s remit is to lead the capital-matchmaking layer—spotlighting opportunities and facilitating targeted investor–company meetings within the CII Marketplace/WAVES Bazaar flow—reinforced by CEO Atul Phadnis’s on-record emphasis on connecting “the right investors to the right opportunities.”
