WaveX, the accelerator behind the startup pavilion at IFFI, belongs to which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Information and Broadcasting
- B.Ministry of Culture
- C.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
- D.Ministry of Commerce and Industry
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. WaveX is its flagship startup accelerator, set up to encourage innovation, entrepreneurship and technological progress across India's media and entertainment sector and the AVGC-XR ecosystem, and it is this ministry that issued the reminder about the closing of registration. Option B is wrong because the culture ministry, though it works on heritage and the arts, is not the body running this accelerator or the festival pavilion. Option C is wrong because the electronics and information technology ministry handles a different set of digital and technology programmes. Option D is wrong, but note the related detail that only startups recognised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, which sits under the commerce and industry ministry, may apply for the pavilion, so candidates must keep the two roles apart.
