Gold and Frameboxx draw up a new script for animation education
MUMBAI: When academia meets animation, the result is pure motion magic. India’s pioneering animation studio Green Gold Animation pvt. ltd., the creative powerhouse behind some of the country’s most beloved animated universes, has teamed up with Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects pvt. ltd., one of India’s top training institutes, to script a new chapter in animation education.
The two industry leaders have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce an Industry Embedded Degree Programme in Animation and VFX, a first-of-its-kind initiative that fuses classroom learning with real-world studio experience. The MoU was signed by Sitarama Rajiv Chilakalapudi, founder and managing director of Green Gold Animation, and Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia, founder and managing director of Frameboxx.
Under the partnership, Green Gold’s senior Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will deliver 150 hours of in-class, hands-on training across three years, ensuring students learn not just the theory but the thrill of production itself. These will be live, interactive sessions with Green Gold’s artists and mentors people who’ve turned sketches into global success stories.
Students will also work on live production projects during their final year, gaining direct exposure to industry workflows, pipelines, and creative challenges. The result: graduates who don’t just dream in animation, but think, design, and deliver like studio professionals from day one.
“India’s animation industry is expanding rapidly, driven by global demand for quality content and the explosion of digital platforms,” said Green Gold Animation founder and CEO Rajiv Chilaka. “Yet, there’s a widening gap between what’s taught in classrooms and what studios need. Through this collaboration with Frameboxx, our goal is to bridge that gap by embedding real production expertise into academic learning. We want students to experience the pulse of a professional studio and understand how global projects are executed from concept to credits.”
He added that this collaboration could help India emerge not just as a major consumer of animation content but as a consistent exporter of world-class animation talent.
Echoing the sentiment Frameboxx founder and managing director Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia said, “This partnership marks a milestone in academic-industry collaboration. Students will benefit from live projects, masterclasses, workshops, and project reviews by Green Gold’s experts across Frameboxx centres nationwide. Together, we’re offering a learning experience that’s as real as it gets.”
The programme will award a joint certification from Green Gold and Frameboxx, in addition to the degree from the affiliated university. Students will have access to cutting-edge technology, structured mentorship, and a well-defined career pathway that aligns with global production standards.
Beyond academic reform, the alliance signals a shared mission to nurture India’s next generation of animators and visual storytellers. For Green Gold, it reinforces its role not just as a studio but as a mentor for the creative economy. For Frameboxx, it deepens its reputation as a bridge between education and employability.
As the animation industry evolves from art to asset class, this partnership gives India’s young dreamers the tools to not only sketch their ideas but also shape their futures. After all, when the worlds of imagination and education collide the credits don’t roll, they begin.
