India’s media and entertainment industry could hit £80 billion mark by 2035, says Mukesh Ambani

India’s entertainment industry, already a powerful force, is now being seen as a serious engine for economic growth and not just culture. At the WAVES 2025 summit in Mumbai, Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani painted a clear picture: what is today a £22 billion (£1.83 lakh crore) industry could cross £80 billion (£6.67 lakh crore) in the next decade. But he says this growth will not happen on its own, it needs the right backing.

Ambani is not talking about small steps. He envisions India building advanced content hubs across the country, supporting creators with world-class training in animation, visual effects, gaming, and AI-led storytelling tools. In his words, this could unlock millions of jobs, spark new businesses, and bring global attention to Indian content.

BBC uses AI to recreate Agatha Christie for new writing course

Aspiring crime writers now have the opportunity to be taught by Agatha Christie herself, at least in a virtual sense. A new online writing course on the subscription platform BBC Maestro features lessons “delivered” by Christie, who died in 1976, using a combination of artificial intelligence, licensed images, and restored voice recordings.

The AI-powered course was developed by BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC, in collaboration with the Agatha Christie estate. The project aims to present writing advice directly drawn from Christie’s own interviews, letters, and other archival material. The end result is a reconstructed version of the author offering guidance on how to craft mystery stories, including structure, suspense, and plot twists.

India offers rare trade sweetener to fast-track deal with US
