Green Gold Animation Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s most renowned and globally recognized animation studios, has announced a strategic collaboration with Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects Pvt. Ltd., a leading animation and VFX training institute. The two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce an Industry-Embedded Degree Program in Animation & VFX, aimed at merging academic learning with real-world industry experience.

The MoU was signed by Sitarama Rajiv Chilakalapudi, Founder & Managing Director of Green Gold Animation, and Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia, Founder & Managing Director of Frameboxx.

Hands-On Learning with Industry Experts

As part of the partnership, Green Gold’s senior Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will deliver over 150 hours of in-person, practical training across three years. These expert-led sessions will immerse students in real studio workflows and creative problem-solving. During the final year, students will also work on live production projects under direct mentorship, ensuring they graduate as industry-ready professionals.

Bridging the Talent Gap

Highlighting the importance of this collaboration, Mr. Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, said:

“India’s animation industry is growing rapidly, driven by global demand and the rise of digital platforms. Yet, we still face a shortage of talent that is both creatively inspired and technically proficient. Our partnership with Frameboxx aims to bridge that gap — embedding our production expertise into structured academic learning so students understand how studios operate, how projects are executed, and how global quality benchmarks are met. This initiative will strengthen India’s creative ecosystem and position our country as a global hub for animation talent.”

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia, Founder & Managing Director of Frameboxx, said:

“Students will gain hands-on exposure through live projects, masterclasses, workshops, and project reviews conducted by Green Gold experts across our centers nationwide. This collaboration marks a milestone in industry-academia synergy. By combining Green Gold’s production excellence with Frameboxx’s robust training infrastructure, we’re creating unmatched opportunities for aspiring animation professionals.”

The program will offer a joint certification from Green Gold and Frameboxx, along with a degree from the affiliated university. Students will benefit from:

• Access to cutting-edge technology and production tools
• Direct mentorship from experienced industry professionals
• A career-focused curriculum aligned with global production standards

Through this partnership, Green Gold Animation reinforces its mission to nurture emerging creative talent and strengthen India’s position in the global animation landscape, while Frameboxx enhances its academic offering with a strong, practical industry connection.
