ABOUT
An industry platform that celebrates India’s winners at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and transforms their success into learning for the next wave of winners.
Cannes Homecoming was created with a clear purpose: to celebrate India’s Cannes Lions winners and turn their success into structured industry learning.
For years, Indian agencies and brands have earned global acclaim at Cannes Lions. Yet, these victories were often celebrated within individual organisations.
Cannes Homecoming changes that.
It brings together agencies, brands, production houses, strategists, creative technologists, and emerging talent to collectively recognise excellence and raise India’s creative benchmark.
Led by Campaign India, the initiative aims to:
- Institutionalise recognition
- Inspire deeper creative ambition
- Strengthen global credibility
- Prepare India to win bigger in the years ahead
