Kidscreen Summit.
We had the pleasure of attending the Kidscreen Summit 2023 in Miami.
Being one of the largest global animation markets, the event sure was very knowledgeable where we met a lot of industry leaders who are driving trends and change. The takeaway is to create content that is adapting to include teaching and entertaining parents as well as modeling parent/children interactions and conversations. We are looking forward to more such industry talks and learnings at the upcoming events.
Also super proud and elated for Prabhakar Sambandan and a few of our Mighty Saffronites for their past contribution to the award winning shows in the Kidscreen Summit 2023.

The Joy of Giving Back.
On the joyous occasion of National Girl Child Day, we had the privilege to collaborate with the Tech Mahindra Foundation and visit the CSI School for the Deaf.
Saffronic team hosted two awareness skits on the importance of girl children and also engaged them with our art. Our artists drew portraits of these young children, danced and entertained them. Wonderful big smiles from these kids truly blessed our herts. Looking forward to many such events..

Power of Knowledge Sharing.
Inculcating industry specific knowledge and processes among the young passionate minds is truly empowering.
We have had the privilege to host such very erudite industry visit sessions with ICAT, DaVinci Media College and Arena Animation Institutions. The students came down to our studio, interacted with our artists and team, enabling a deeper understanding of the pipeline and production processes of the industry.

Learning is Unlimited.
Learning in Saffronic is unlimited and knowledge is high.
For this ambitious goal, we have introduced the ACE session which aims to keep our artists engaged and updated on all the latest trends and software. The ACE session is hosted by our in-house industry experts who love inculcating their experience through knowledge sharing. The pride of these sessions is that it is open to all artists down the floor who can participate in any session even if it is not from their core work industry. An everyday Animation Artist who gives those sassy moves to a character can now learn how the lighting affects the animated character, hosted by an LRC Expert.
