Community
NICE is on a mission to build a thriving ecosystem that will see a large number of successful cultural businesses emerge and prosper across global markets.
It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. Similarly, for any large mission to succeed, it needs the support and involvement of a large number of people who passionately believe in the mission. Such people commit time, expertise, knowledge and effort to make the mission come alive.
To us, they are our NICE Friends.
A community of experienced professionals, domain experts, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policy-makers and others who believe in the mission of NICE and adhere to its values. NICE Friends enable the creation of successful cultural enterprises by providing mentorship, strategic guidance and access to networks. They also assist NICE in various capacities as ambassadors, service providers and volunteers.
Come, experience the power of culture, creativity and innovation.
Join us in strengthening Brand India.
