Be part of the dialogue that’s shaping the future of creativity, policy, and international collaboration.
About the Event
Creative Convergence is a two-day gathering of cultural leaders, creative entrepreneurs, policymakers, and changemakers from India and the UK. Taking place in Bengaluru (November 2025) and Delhi (January 2026), it explores the future of India’s creative economy through the lens of innovation, inclusion, and international collaboration.
The event brings together thought leaders across fashion, film, music, performing arts, craft, design, and policy — highlighting new research, celebrating UK–India partnerships, and imagining future-ready creative ecosystems.
This initiative builds on the UK–India Programme of Cultural Cooperation (2025–2030) and the British Council’s two-decade legacy in supporting the global creative economy.

- Cultural leaders and arts managers
