Apollo Green and Apollo Fashion honor Women’s Day with power and equality
MUMBAI: As the world marks International Women’s Day, Apollo Green Energy Limited and Apollo Fashion International Ltd. have launched two impactful campaigns ‘Growing Up, Growing Equal’ and ‘Strength in Every Story’ highlighting the journey from inequality to empowerment.
Apollo Green Energy’s ‘Growing Up, Growing Equal’ sheds light on the biases once ingrained in society and the progress made towards inclusivity. The campaign challenges outdated norms and highlights real stories of individuals who defied convention trailblazers who shattered barriers, professionals who redefined caregiving, and changemakers driving workplace equality.
Apollo Fashion International’s ‘Strength in Every Story’ pays tribute to the many faces of resilience. Whether in the quiet strength of daily sacrifices, the courage to break barriers, or the unwavering support of allies, the campaign redefines strength as a collective force that uplifts and inspires.
Both campaigns are igniting conversations across digital platforms and industry forums, reinforcing Apollo’s commitment to a future where ambition, opportunity, and strength know no gender.

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.
