28+ Years of Creative Education
28+ Years of Creative Education
For over two decades, Arena Animation Kankurgachi has been at the forefront of creative education in Kolkata — nurturing artists, storytellers, designers, and dreamers who now lead India’s Animation, VFX, Gaming, and Design industries.
Founded in 1998, our journey began with a small classroom and a bold vision — to turn imagination into employability.
Today, that vision lives on through over 12,000 successful alumni working at top studios like Rockstar Games, YRFx Studios, Google TV, Red Chillies VFX, Amazon Prime Video, and many more.
Our story isn’t just about education — it’s about empowerment.
Employment-Driven Education with Proven Results
Arena Kankurgachi follows a simple philosophy — train to employ. Every student receives real-world exposure through live projects, portfolio
reviews, and studio-standard production workflows.
Our Career Development Cell works hand-in-hand with mentors and recruiters to prepare students for interviews, portfolio presentations, and industry
demands.
With over 27+ years of creative education excellence, 100+ recruiter partnerships, and 6,000+ successful alumni, we’ve built one of the strongest placement ecosystems in India’s AVGC (Animation, VFX, Gaming & Comics) sector.
