MUMBAI, February 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

~From Michael Jackson to Coldplay, Wizcraft never ceased to create magic by pulling some biggest artists and concerts in India~ 

30 years back, three different yet extremely enterprising men - Andre Timmins, Viraf Sarkari and Sabbas Joseph - came together to lay the foundation of Wizcraft International. The three friends then had little idea that the brainchild of their collaborative efforts, vision, and travail would in the future be referred to as a phenomenon that would establish the Indian events fraternity as a force to reckon with on the face of the global experiential ecosystem.

Commenting on the occasion, Andre Timmins, Sabbas Joseph and Viraf Sarkari, Co-Founders of Wizcraft, said, "30 years ago, we had a dream to scale new heights and as we celebrate and look back at the glorious years pioneering the world of communication and entertainment industry in India, Wizcraft is the accomplishment of that dream. The 30-year-old journey has been extremely exciting, full of ups and downs and beautifully eventful. For us at Wizcraft it's all about going where no man has gone before and it's about achieving the impossible and we are really proud and delighted as we celebrate a milestone of Wizcraft's existence, it's a very small part of a long journey that awaits us."

For the first time in the history of Indian cinema, various A-List stars and key influencers such as - Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Varun Dhawan among others came together to celebrate Wizcraft International's success story.

Here's what few celebrities had to say about Wizcraft -

Deepika Padukone - "Here's wishing Viraf, Sabbas, Andre and the entire team of Wizcraft many congratulations on completing 30 years. Thank you for all the beautiful memories and wonderful opportunities, I look forward to many more."

Taking India to the world, some of their proudest and biggest achievements are taking the glory of India across the globe. With its nucleus firmly set in India, Wizcraft today stands a global phenomenon owing to its brilliant international events and Intellectual properties in the entertainment domain. In addition to that, both the Grand Opening Ceremony for GES 2017 and the Commonwealth Games was showcased India across the world.

Wizcraft set themselves the mission of putting Indian Cinema on a global platform by celebrating and recognizing the talent within the Indian film industry with this annual ceremony at an international destination. IIFA (International Indian Film Academy), the flagship brand by Wizcraft is the biggest global celebration of the Indian Cinema on a global platform and is also referred to as the Oscars of Bollywood owning to its grandeur and opulence. Whereas, GiMA, most definitive platform that honours talent in Indian music has set itself an ambitious mission to create a movement for Indian music, in more ways than one.

Alia Bhatt - "Congratulations Wizcraft. Congratulations Andre, Sabbas and Viraft for completing 3 decades of Wizcraft. It's amazing. All the love, all the luck for the future. You guys are the best." 

Varun Dhawan - "Wizcraft you are turning 30 years old and what a day to turn 30 on Valentine's Day! You guys have given so much love to Bollywood, that's why I'm here to congratulate you and give you all my love to Viraf, Sabbas and Andre. Thank you so much. Since I have been to IIFA Awards and I have seen you guys working so hard behind the scenes and going crazy putting all this together and putting India on the world map. Right now I'm not in India but sending my love from Hong Kong." 

The Global Citizen Festival in India created and managed by Wizcraft and headlined by Coldplay and Jay Z helped raise $5.9 Billion in social commitments. The concert is fondly remembered as the finest and proudest memory of 1.3 Billion people in the country.

Wizcraft today is India's biggest communication and entertainment giant that integrates creativity, strategy, technology, and unmatched excellence to create unprecedented experiences for audiences in and around the world. Headquartered in Mumbai, Wizcraft has offices in Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Vizag in India, with international liaison offices and associates across the world, employing a task force of over 600 employees or 'Wizzes' as they are famously called.

With a deep-rooted expertise in experiential marketing, Wizcraft today enjoys a sterling client portfolio having more than 500 leading MNCs and corporate houses in its kitty. Brands like Amazon, Pepsico, Google, Twitter, Honor, Apple, BMW, IBM, Zee TV, Bacardi, Audi, Wipro, Redbull, Adidas and their custodians have unwavering faith in the power that is Wizcraft.

With its specialized verticals like WizSpk Communication and PR (ensuring the right conversations with maximum reach across traditional and social media), Wiz Theatricals (Pioneers of India's first live Broadway-style Bollywood Musical shows), and Wiz Sports, Wizcraft has revolutionized the media and communication space in India. Additionally, Wizcraft's wedding planning and management division - Wedniksha recently celebrated 4 fantastic years in the business, already having curated some of the grandest weddings for Indians in and around the world.

Tryst With Technology, Wizcraft has also led from the front, constantly upgrading the use of technology; introducing and using world-class technology to enhance experiences and setting benchmarks with technological firsts - hence proving that 'Digital India' is truly what we as a country practice and excel at.

Projects For A Cause, Wizcraft has partnered with many causes on a no-profit basis to spread awareness and generate funds for Tsunami, 26/11, IIFA Foundation-Celebrity Charity Fundraiser to name a few.

After 30 incredible years in the business, the list of feathers in Wizcraft's golden cap is endless and the honors and awards on the shelf are too many to count. However, Wizcraft as a holistic enterprise is set to celebrate 30 historic and eventful years of its existence on Feb 14, 2018, the custodians at the establishment can still be seen beaming with a never seen before excitement. The happiness on their glowing faces evidently reveals that the best in the world of events and entertainment is yet to come for the Indian audiences, as Wizzes across the country are gearing up to flag off another 30 years of creating bigger, larger and more groundbreaking experiences. Taking inspiration from the Mahatma's words, Wizcraft continues to set new goals - to set up a school for event and experiential education, to expand more and more into rural marketing and to continue to take India to the world in innovative and imaginative ways.

Wizcraft is truly the embodiment of Make in India.
