Navneet’s ‘salute the tr’ wins hearts nationwide on teacher’s day
MUMBAI: This teacher’s day, classrooms were quiet but the school grounds were full of heart. In a touching twist, Navneet education launched its newest campaign Salute the tr, swapping words of thanks for a powerful, silent salute that brought teachers to tears.
The campaign film begins with puzzled teachers stepping into empty classrooms, only to be guided outside. There, waiting in rows of perfect discipline, are their students. What follows is a spine-tingling moment as every child raises their hand in unison, offering a crisp salute to the mentors who shaped their minds and lives.
The gesture is as simple as it is profound. No speeches. No slogans. Just respect made visible.
With Salute the tr, Navneet Education, one of India’s most trusted educational brands, is calling on schools across the country to make this tradition a part of every teacher’s day. It’s a move from individual gratitude to a nationwide movement, built around a collective show of respect that speaks louder than any bouquet or greeting card.
Navneet education, director of marketing & sales, Devish Gala shared the vision behind the campaign,
“Teachers are the real architects of society. With this campaign, we wanted to create a moment that captures their importance in a way that words simply can’t. A salute is universal, respectful, and unforgettable.”
Kasperx marketing, co-founder and cbo, Ravi Sangtani summed it up perfectly, “Salute the tr. turns appreciation into action. It’s a moment that can become a movement. Just like uniforms or morning assemblies, let saluting teachers become part of school tradition, a small act that leaves a lasting mark.”
Navneet has long supported India’s educators with learning tools and content, but this time, it’s handed the spotlight to the students, showing how a classroom of grateful hearts can say more with one salute than a thousand thank-you notes.

IICT partners with Gativedhi to bring studio production tools to students
New MoU lets students explore AI-driven production pipelines for AVGC-XR
MUMBAI: The Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) has teamed up with Gativedhi Technologies to give students a front-row seat to modern studio production. The collaboration will integrate Gativedhi’s AI-powered production intelligence platform, Shotrack, into academic programmes, letting students experience the workflow systems used by animation, VFX and gaming studios.
Under the MoU, faculty, students and researchers will get hands-on access to Shotrack through beta programmes, pilot deployments and academic evaluations. This will allow them to explore simulated production pipelines, understand asset management, track tasks and monitor schedules, essentially seeing how complex projects come together behind the scenes.
Shotrack is designed to tackle a key industry challenge: when multiple studios work on the same project, differing internal systems often create bottlenecks, slow approvals and complicate version control. The platform provides a unified production environment, enabling smoother collaboration across distributed teams while generating operational insights and predictive analytics to optimise crew allocation, forecast schedule risks and manage costs.
The collaboration also opens doors to Gativedhi’s wider ecosystem. Upcoming tools include StudioTrack, for studio operations management covering budgeting, recruitment and IT infrastructure, and WorkTrack, which measures workflow efficiency and team productivity across industries.
IICT plans to embed these tools into programmes covering animation pipelines, VFX workflows, gaming production and media project management. Students will also benefit from guest lectures, masterclasses, workshops, internships and research projects that connect academic learning with real-world studio practices.
IICT CEO Vishwas Deoskar, said the partnership provides “An environment where production pipeline tools can be explored, tested and refined while students gain insight into how large-scale productions are organised.”
Gativedhi Technologies founder & CEO Senthil Kumar added, “This collaboration introduces students to real-world studio management tools and helps us improve our platform with academic feedback.”
With Shotrack in classrooms, India’s future animators, VFX artists and gaming producers will get a taste of studio life long before they step into one.
