The Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono working in partnership with the New Zealand Music Commission invites applications from both experienced and emerging New Zealand music leaders to join a delegation to Mumbai, India, from 6–13 February 2027.
The delegation will centre on India International Music Week (IIMW), with conference and showcase participation complemented by industry meetings, site visits and cultural orientation. It offers a first exploration of India’s music sector and an opportunity to build relationships that can lead to sustained, two-way connections.
India brings together many music scenes, languages and audiences. Mumbai offers an entry point into its entertainment industry, including live music, recorded music, film music and digital platforms. Delegates will be encouraged to understand the priorities of local partners and explore reciprocal opportunities relevant to their work.
