IFP, previously India Film Project, was formed in 2011. It comprises a community of filmmakers, writers, musicians, storytellers, poets, designers and creators that puts together a festival by the same name in Mumbai every year. Its continuous endeavour is to create ever-evolving ecosystems for talented creators to flourish. To this end, IFP has created multiple verticals such as Campus Connect, which is conducted at colleges; the Web Writers Lab, and Podcast Lab. It also hosts several workshops and masterclass series and two shows on MTV, IFP Shorts, and IFP Offshoot. Producer Ritam Bhatnagar leads the core team as founder and festival director.
