Mumbai, 24th September 2025: Reliance Animation Studios, one of India’s premier animation
studios renowned for shows such as Little Singham, Smashing Simmba, Golmaal
Jr., Shaktimaan, and Little Krishna, has announced a landmark collaboration
with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to conduct career awareness
workshops across 1,118 BMC-run schools in Mumbai.
The initiative kicked off with its first workshop on
18th September 2025 at Mumbai Public School, D. N. Nagar, Andheri West. The
program is designed to spark curiosity and imagination among students while
simultaneously enhancing their communication skills, boosting memory power, and
nurturing creativity—key traits for future innovators in Animation, Visual
Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC).
Through engaging activities such as voice modulation,
drawing, and expression enactment, students were introduced to the creative
process behind producing animated shows. A special screening of the Making of
Little Singham offered students a behind-the-scenes look at how one of their
favourite characters is brought to life. This not only left them inspired but
also fostered a sense of connection and loyalty towards the content.
Shibasish Sarkar, Group CEO, Reliance Entertainment,
expressed his pride in the initiative stating:“We are honoured and
proud to collaborate with BMC on this programme. It inspires young minds,
nurtures creativity, and opens doors to exciting careers in India’s animation,
gaming, and creative ecosystem. This initiative is a meaningful step in
bridging students, audiences, and the future of the AVGC industry.”
Tejonidhi Bhandare, CEO of Reliance Animation Studios,
shared his vision for the initiative, stating: “These workshops deliver a
triple benefit – firstly, they create awareness about careers in AVGC for young
students; secondly, they act as a powerful driver for audiences to engage with
and watch the showcased animated content; and thirdly, they open up
opportunities for brands to connect directly with their future consumers in a
meaningful and engaging way. This initiative is truly a bridge between
students, audiences, and the entire AVGC ecosystem.”
With this collaboration, Reliance Animation Studios
and BMC aim to empower students with knowledge about the vast opportunities in
the AVGC sector, encouraging them to explore creative career paths that can
contribute to India’s growing animation and gaming industry.
