Madison World helps Tata Salt bring alive Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of clean India
MUMBAI: Madison World units, Platinum Outdoor and Madison Media for their client Tata Salt, helped bring alive Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of a clean India on his 150th birth anniversary. An interactive installation with an inbuilt video with Mahatma Gandhi’s voice was displayed on MG Road in Mumbai asking an important question – We walk on Mahatma Gandhi Road every day, but do we really walk on Bappu’s path?
With the brand’s position of ‘Desh Ki Sehat, Desh ka Namak’ being closely woven with Gandhi’s Salt Satyagraha, Tata Salt had set up an interactive installation that reminded people of Gandhi’s saying ‘Be the change you wish to see’. The campaign also builds on government’s ‘Swachata Hi Seva 2019’ campaign initiated as part of the ‘Swach Bharat Abhiyan’ initiative.
The innovation was further amplified on TV news media.
Tata Chemicals Ltd head – marketing, consumer product business Sagar Boke said, “Tata Salt has always stayed true to its credo of ‘Desh ki Sehat, Desh Ka Namak’ and this initiative is our homage to the Father of the Nation. As the nation progresses to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of cleanliness, this unique installation will bring alive the Mahatma’s thoughts and words on cleanliness and sanitation. People will be able to interact with images and sounds to truly understand the Mahatma’s dream of total sanitation for all and the importance of not just personal but also public hygiene. Just as nutrients like iodine are important to good health, good hygiene and sanitation are just as critical, and we hope the #BapuReminder initiative will instill in each one the aspiration to be a torchbearer for Swach Bharat Abhiyan.”
Madison Media & OOH partner & group CEO Vikram Sakhuja said, “Tata Salt is a brand that has always stood for a larger purpose and a better future. We couldn’t be happier that we’re associated with a brand that is making a difference through household items and contributing to improve the environment.”

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.
