Jaipur will take center stage in India’s creative economy on October 28 as the Rising AVGC-XR & Media Association (Rama Rajasthan) hosts the Rajasthan AVGC-XR Summit 2026 (Ras 2026) at the Rajasthan International Center (Ric), Jaipur, to celebrate International Animation Day. The summit brings together creators, industry leaders, studios, students and academic institutions from across the country to explore opportunities in Animation, Visual Effects, Games, Comics and Augmented Reality (AVGC-XR).
Based on Rajasthan’s AVGC-XR Policy 2024, the state promotes creative industries, skills and entrepreneurship. The Department of Information Technology and Communication (DoIT&C), Government of Rajasthan, is partnering with Samiti to promote innovation, technology and employment opportunities.
The Atal Innovation Studio and Accelerator (Aisa) program is strengthening Rajasthan’s innovation ecosystem through a hub-and-spoke model, with Jaipur as the hub and hubs in Udaipur, Bikaner and Bharatpur. The initiative is related to 1117 startups registered in AVGC, 151 of which received 7.38 million GEL funding. Rajasthan’s participation in five film festivals has reached 15,000+ participants, promoting film production and connecting emerging talent with industry opportunities. In a parallel skill development initiative, Unity, Nvidia and the Center for Entertainment Arts (CEA) have trained 500+ developers from Rajasthan in deep learning and AI technologies including computer vision, neural networks and multi-GPU computing.
Under the theme Create in India, Create in Rajasthan, Ras 2026 will feature industry masterclasses, expert discussions, an IP launch, an exhibition and six creative challenges inspired by the culture of Rajasthan. Raj Comics founder Sanjay Gupta is among the industry voices expected to participate. The summit will also present Rama Rajasthan’s first Lifetime Achievement Award to Ashish Kulkarni for his contribution to the creative industry.
Bringing AVGC-XR and media stakeholders from across the country to Jaipur reflects our belief that Rajasthan is poised to play a leading role in India’s creative economy.
