Tell us about your views on the changing landscapes of on-ground events and the future of it in India post the announcement of Union Budget 2023-24?
The latest union budget presented by the government showcases its commitment to promoting progress and development in the country by focusing on three crucial areas: youth, green growth, and taxation. The government has made significant investments and implemented initiatives in each of these areas to ensure the country's future success.
The event industry, in particular, has been anticipating support from the government, especially in the form of better infrastructure for live entertainment and lower GST. The event industry is a significant contributor to the economy and employs a large number of people, so the government's support in this area is expected to have a positive impact on the industry and the wider economy. Additionally, the government's initiatives turned into events are expected to provide a platform for the industry to showcase its potential and bring new opportunities for growth and development.
