ASIFA India was delighted to participate in the Chitkara International Animation Film Festival (CHIAFF) 2026 at Chitkara Design School.
ASIFA India President Sanjay Khimesara joined the festival as a Speaker & Panelist for the engaging session โ€œPixels & Policy.โ€

Moderated by Manoj A. Menon, the panel brought together Ashish Kulkarni, Nish*th Takia, Riya Arora, and Vivek Nag for a candid and forward-looking conversation on the intersection of creative policy, industry advocacy, and Indiaโ€™s fast-growing AVGC-XR ecosystem.

What makes CHIAFF truly special is its spirit โ€” warm, accessible, and thoughtfully designed to make the world of animation welcoming for everyone. Students, industry veterans, and emerging creators share the same space, learning and exchanging ideas as equals.

This philosophy resonates strongly with ASIFA Indiaโ€™s mission of building an open, inclusive, and collaborative animation community.

A heartfelt thank you to the Chitkara Design School team โ€” Sanjay Jangid, Manpal Setia, and the entire CHIAFF family for the wonderful hospitality and for creating a festival that truly puts people and creativity at the centre.

Looking forward to many more collaborations as we continue strengthening Indiaโ€™s Animation & AVGC-XR ecosystem. ๐Ÿค
