“This initiative is a significant step toward empowering the next generation of designers and storytellers,” said Sandip Weling, Chief Business Officer, Global Retail Business, Aptech Limited and Brand Custodian, MAAC. He added, “At MAAC, we are committed to equipping our students with future-ready skills that blend creativity with cutting-edge AI technologies. With the pace at which Gen AI is evolving, it’s essential to not just adapt, but lead the change.”
Mr. Deepak Choudhary, Director, MAAC South Ex, Delhi, quoted, “At MAAC, we believe the future belongs to creators who learn to work with AI. We are preparing our students to lead the AI revolution in digital content creation. With studies projecting that over 70% of media and entertainment content will be influenced by AI by 2030, it’s clear that the creative industry is undergoing a massive transformation. From Netflix using AI to optimize content recommendations and script development, to Marvel Studios employing AI for visual effects and pre-visualization, the integration of generative tools is already reshaping how stories are told. Our initiative ensures that India’s creative youth are not just prepared-but positioned to innovate at the forefront of this change.”
Ten expert trainers conducted comprehensive sessions over the five-day program, covering fundamentals to advanced levels of AI design tools. The training features prominent Instagram AI creators such as Luv Sankhla, Deenu Khan (neuraltech.ai), Rahul Tiwary, and Divyansh Mundra (Mahabharat With Divyansh), along with leading industry experts including Ms. Vidushi Saxena from Adobe India and Mr. Vijay Shah, Director of Design at Physics Wallah. Master mentors from MAAC HQ in Mumbai were also part of the program, guiding students through the evolving landscape of Generative AI and its creative applications.
In a world where AI integration is still new to many and concerns about job security remain, MAAC’s initiative reinforces the idea that professionals will not be replaced by AI-but by those who can use AI effectively. The Mega Batch training stands as a bold first move in preparing India’s creative workforce to thrive in the AI-driven future.
