The Maharashtra government is preparing to introduce a single-window clearance system for live events, which aims to streamline the approval process and enhance the live entertainment landscape in the state. Industry leaders, including Naman Pugalia (Chief Business Officer at BookMyShow) and Karan Singh (CEO of Sunburn), have expressed optimism about the initiative, stating that it could significantly improve the ease of doing business by reducing fragmented approvals and enhancing inter-departmental coordination. The new system is expected to facilitate better planning and execution for events, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where organizing multi-city tours has been challenging due to complex approval processes. However, some experts, like Siddhesh Kudtarkar (Founder of Team Innovation), caution that the success of this initiative will depend on its execution and whether it effectively replaces existing bureaucratic hurdles rather than adding to them. Concert-goers like Sumit Singh also shared their hopes that this system will reduce the distress caused by event cancellations and rescheduling. If successful, this model could inspire similar initiatives in other Indian states, promoting a more uniform approach to event management across the country.
