In his first speech after assuming office, Shri Mukesh Bhatt said, "I have imbibed a lot from (incumbent) President Shri Ramesh Sippy over the last 2 years. In particular, Shri Sippy's insight in taking several crucial decisions for Guild was amazing and will act as a source of inspiration to me. It is a great privilege to lead a prestigious entertainment trade body such as Guild and I will work to the best of my capabilities and energies and strive for the interests of the Guild and the entertainment industry. I seek the support of all the Council and Guild members in our objective to aggressively pursue and resolve the problems of the industry.

I also welcome the induction of Ms. Ekta Kapoor and Ms. Shrishti Arya into the Guild Council. Their knowledge and expertise will undoubtedly benefit the Council and the Guild. As President of the Guild, it will be my endeavor to work together and join forces with the other Council & fellow Guild members and other entertainment trade bodies to strive for the welfare and progress of the Indian entertainment industry in the ultimate analysis."

The outgoing President Shri Ramesh Sippy said, "During my tenure over the course of the last 2 years, the Guild has taken up several issues of the entertainment industry and though some of the matters have not been fully resolved, there is no doubt about the genuineness of our efforts in trying to resolve these problems and I am thankful to all my team members for their support and co-operation. I will continue to provide my wholehearted support to the Guild whenever my services are required.
