Reliance Entertainment's Reliance Animation Academy, in partnership with Sandip University (Nasik), Allen House (Uttar Pradesh), and Pimpri Chinchwad University (Pune), aims to provide hands-on training in Animation and VFX to students from early grades in their schooling phase. The curriculum will be developed by Reliance Animation Academy separately for each grade which will consider the age of the student and the grasping capacity with the right blend of the software and drawing skills in order to build the right mix of talent in the Animation and VFX sectors.

Reliance Animation Academy, a division of Reliance Animation Studios, in its new avatar, is imparting the finest education in the country to students pursuing some of the most extensive courses in Animation and VFX starting from 3 months to 3 years including the Degree Program that covers the entire gamut of art focusing from conceptualizing to final delivery.

Between the years 2009 and 2022, around 4500 students have proudly passed out from Reliance Animation Academy, formerly known as BIG Aims. During its peak, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the academy boasted an impressive network of over 25 franchisees.

The animation studio counts top broadcasters like Discovery (India), Viacom18 Media, Turner Broadcasting (Asia Pacific), Disney Broadcasting (India), Sony Entertainment, IN10 Media, Sun TV, and others as its clients. Besides delivering market-leading IPs to various Indian TV broadcasters, the animation studio has also worked on several international projects which include the production of the show "Twisted Timelines of Sammy & Raj" for Nickelodeon and "The Davincibles" - a co-production with Neo Network & Moonscoop US.

The Reliance Animation studio has the unique advantage of access to top film creators and film IPs from Reliance Entertainment Studios. It has successfully taken up well-performing IPs from films and spun off animated series and films. Shows like Little Singham which is currently airing on POGO, Golmaal Jr. on Sonic/Nick, Smashing Simmba on Discovery Kids, Bhaiyyaji Balwan on Hungama, and Pandeyji Pehelwan on ETV Bal Bharat are some of the finest creations of Reliance Animation.

Tejonidhi Bhandare, CEO Reliance Animation Studios says "India is fast emerging as the prospective global giant in the field of animation, gaming, VFX & comics, and to be successful, one needs to be prepared in every manner to handle the challenges. Awareness and building skills at early ages are the key factors that define the growth journey and with these tie-ups, we are bang on to create both factors at early ages from Grade 3 to 8 and build a solid task force for this sector. This type of partnership is a one-of-its-kind that will help shape the future of the students in the art sector on one hand and create awareness about the opportunities on the other. At Reliance Animation Academy, we are dedicated to crafting the leaders in moving arts."

According to the Latest FICCI Report, the demand for animated content and kids' OTT platforms has grown since pre-pandemic, with more options in regional languages. India has become one of the leading providers of end-to-end services, from pre-visualization to final rendering, resulting in a rise in work volume and value. There has been a 100% increase in high-budget films in India in 2022, leading to a higher demand for domestic VFX services. Tent pole movies and VFX-heavy episodic content remain popular, with over 50 such movies set to release globally in 2023-2024. Top 10 OTT platforms are expected to commission 1,000+ original titles in the coming years. Anime viewership among millennials has increased, creating opportunities for adult-focused animated content and home-grown IPs. Gaming has also experienced significant growth, presenting new avenues for monetization. The rise of the metaverse will increase the demand for 3D modeling and real-time rendering, leading to more job opportunities and new companies entering the space.

Therefore, Reliance Animation Academy, with its unmatched course curriculum, aims to gear up students to the opportunity to gain skill sets that will give them the confidence to explore career opportunities in not only animation and VFX studios but also in the fields of advertising, gaming, live-action film making, comics, designing and many more exiting media activities that they might be inclined to.
