Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Senior Executive (NFDC-WAVES) operates within the WAVES Secretariat at the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) Regional Office in New Delhi. The role directly supports the planning, nationwide outreach, and execution of the flagship World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES 2027) and Create in India Challenge (CIC) Season 2, initiated by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. Duties encompass inter-ministerial coordination, liaising with global creators, media planning, tender/RFP preparation, GFR procurement compliance, and managing large-scale entertainment sector conferences. The environment is fast-paced and deadline-sensitive.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Initial engagement is on a contract basis for a period of one year, stationed at NFDC Regional Office, New Delhi. While the initial posting is in Delhi, the candidate carries an All-India mobility liability based on operational requirements of WAVES summits and NFDC festival circuits. Contract hiring is executed through an outsourced agency selected by NFDC Ltd.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As an outsourced contractual project assignment with fixed all-inclusive remuneration of Rs. 70,000/- per month, the post does not carry regular cadre seniority or permanent absorption rights in NFDC. However, managing high-profile government events like WAVES provides unparalleled industry networking, high visibility with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, and valuable credentials for senior media consulting roles in national and international cultural institutions.
