The Maharashtra government is introducing a single-window clearance system for concerts and large-scale events, aiming to streamline the process and reduce bureaucratic hurdles. Organisers, artists, and attendees share their views on how this new rule could impact the live entertainment industry.
Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer at BookMyShow, believes that the introduction of a single-window clearance system sets a strong precedent and can significantly improve ease of doing business. Shoven Shah, Founder and CEO of TribeVibe, thinks that this is a critical step towards bringing greater structure and predictability to India's live entertainment ecosystem.
Karan Singh, CEO of Sunburn, says that the Government of Maharashtra's move to introduce a single-window clearance system is a positive step that brings greater clarity and cohesion to the process. Siddhesh Kudtarkar, Founder of Team Innovation, highlights the importance of clarity, consistency, and reliability in the new system.
Sumit Singh, a concert-goer, hopes that this one-stop clearance system will help streamline things and fill the gaps between organisers and artists.
