Skincare brand Namyaa ropes in Swara Bhaskar as brand ambassador
MUMBAI: Skin and intimate care brand Namyaa Skincare has roped in actress Swara Bhaskar to endorse its range of products. The brand, which makes skincare and intimate hygiene products, holds up the bold and sensational actress as a representation of beauty, femininity and candidness.
“Swara Bhaskar has justified roles that break stereotypes and the vicious circle of sealing lips about life’s realities. Her style, boldness and attitude is what the brand wants to leverage,” Namyaa Skincare director Karan Gupta said.
Bhaskar, sharing her excitement, noted in a statement, “I’m excited to be the face of Namyaa. I think it’s great that the brand is taking skincare beyond beauty and skin lightening to hygiene and health taking into account the practical life conditions of numerous young women in India today- most of whom are studying or working and are often travelling or in transit.
I’m glad to be the face of a brand which is working in its own way to empower girls. I’m looking forward to connecting with the young and fearless Indian girls who will be able to advance their life with hygienic intimate conditions and fly their way to healthier living.”

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.
