The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India have partnered with Netflix to launch a skilling initiative titled ‘Inspiring Innovators’, according to a press release issued by the Press Information Bureau.
The initiative is aimed at building awareness and skills at the intersection of science, technology and storytelling, with a focus on encouraging young people to explore innovation-driven careers. The programme draws on digital content and educational material to introduce participants to scientific thinking and creative problem-solving.
According to the PIB release, the collaboration seeks to use storytelling formats to make science and innovation more accessible to a wider audience. Officials said the initiative is designed to highlight real-world innovation journeys and inspire interest in emerging fields.
The programme has been developed with inputs from the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser and will align with ongoing efforts to promote scientific temper and innovation capacity among students and early-career professionals.
Netflix will support the initiative through curated content and learning resources, officials said, leveraging its platform to reach a broader demographic. The collaboration is positioned as part of a broader push to integrate digital media tools into skilling and education initiatives.
Government representatives said the initiative reflects efforts to engage private platforms in national skilling and innovation objectives, particularly in areas where creative media and technology intersect.
