Andy Chua, Event Director of Promax India, reflected on the event’s success, stating, “It’s been a challenging year for the Indian entertainment media industry, with many companies still recalibrating and navigating the new market realities post-pandemic. But what really stands out to me is how this challenge has sparked even more creativity and smarter budgeting, as seen in the brilliant entries we’ve received for The Promax India Awards. As we come together virtually to celebrate these achievements, I’m excited to share that Promax India is evolving, too. Next year, we’ll be rebranding as The Global Entertainment Marketing Academy of Arts and Sciences (GEMA), and we’re planning to bring a fresh, in-person event to India. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us.”

As Promax India looks forward to a new chapter under the banner of GEMA, the success of this year’s virtual awards ceremony sets the stage for even greater achievements in the future. The event has again proven to be a beacon of excellence in entertainment marketing, inspiring industry professionals to continue pushing creative boundaries.
