Research on Creative Industries
This research project on Creative or Cultural Industries, the umbrella under which a range of creative sectors are organized – performing arts (music/dance/theatre/visual arts), design (fashion/interiors), media and entertainment (film/television/media/publishing), architecture, digital (video/games/animation), and traditional crafts; seeks to understand the Indian creative industries and their challenges better. The project involves developing a series of case studies that will capture the journey and practices of successful firms in the Indian creative industries. Firms that will be studied as part of this engagement are Fabindia (crafts-based apparel), Hidesign (designer-leather), Mudra Communications (advertising), and Manish Arora (fashion design), among others.
