Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC), the leading educator in Animation and Visual Effects, launched the International Program in Visual Arts and Design (IPVAD) at IT hub Bengaluru lately. Bangalore IPVAD will be offered at MAAC Malleshwaram, MAAC Jayanagar and MAAC Koramangala.
The course was launched by Biren Ghose, President-ABAI, a non-profit association originally started for developing Karnataka’s Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics industry. Commenting on the increasingly important role played by Indian studios in the production of animation/VFX content, Biren Ghose says, “There has been an incredible increase in the number and quality of projects undertaken by local production studios. While the VFX, animation and gaming business is about Rs 80 billion (KPMG-FICCI report 2015), it only occupies 8% of the global industry. The need of the hour is for associations like ABAI to work hand in hand with institutes like MAAC to develop programmes and curriculums that significantly raise the standards of local talent to accommodate for the rising levels of expectations from global studios.”
MAAC was founded in 2001 and is reckoned as the major brand of Aptech Ltd. The company has trained over 30,000 students across the country. It has over 81 franchise centres with cutting-edge infrastructure in over 40 cities across India.
