Mumbai: Green Gold Animation Pvt. Ltd., India’s pioneering and globally recognized animation studio, has announced a strategic collaboration with Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects Pvt. Ltd., a leading animation and VFX training institute. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to introduce an Industry Embedded Degree Program in Animation & VFX, aimed at merging academic learning with hands-on industry exposure.
The MoU was signed by Sitarama Rajiv Chilakalapudi, Founder & Managing Director of Green Gold Animation, and Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia, Founder & Managing Director of Frameboxx.
As part of this initiative, Green Gold’s senior Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will deliver 150 hours of in-class, hands-on training over the span of three years to align academic learning with evolving industry demands. These sessions will be conducted by Green Gold experts and mentors to make the learning experience immersive and practice-oriented. The program also includes intensive mentorship on live production projects during the final year, ensuring students graduate as highly skilled, industry-ready professionals.
Highlighting the significance of this collaboration, Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, said, “India’s animation industry is expanding rapidly, driven by global demand for high-quality content and the emergence of new digital platforms. However, one of the biggest challenges we continue to face is the shortage of talent that is both creatively inspired and technically equipped to deliver at global standards. Through this collaboration with Frameboxx, our goal is to build that bridge between education and the industry. By embedding our production expertise into structured academic learning, we aim to give students a first-hand understanding of how professional studios operate, how projects are executed, and how quality benchmarks are maintained. This initiative will not only strengthen India’s creative ecosystem but also help establish our country as a consistent exporter of world-class animation talent.”
Adding to this, Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia of Frameboxx said, “Students enrolled in the program will gain direct exposure to live projects, masterclasses, workshops, and periodic project reviews conducted by Green Gold’s experts across Frameboxx centers nationwide. This is a milestone in academic-industry collaboration. By combining Green Gold’s production excellence with Frameboxx’s training infrastructure, we are offering unmatched learning opportunities to aspiring animation professionals.”
The program will offer joint certification from Green Gold and Frameboxx, alongside a degree from the affiliated university. Students will also benefit from access to cutting-edge technology, mentorship from seasoned industry experts, and a structured career pathway aligned with global production standards.
Through this collaboration, Green Gold Animation reinforces its commitment to nurturing creative talent and driving India’s animation ecosystem, while Frameboxx strengthens its educational value proposition—together paving the way for a new generation of studio-ready professionals.
