Backstage Pass And Frameboxx Sign Mou To Launch Diploma Game Development Programs

In a landmark move, the Backstage Pass Institute of Gaming and Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects have joined hands to reshape India’s landscape for gaming education. This collaboration underscores the growing power and promise of the country’s digital entertainment industry. The two institutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to introduce a new generation of specialised diploma and advanced diploma programs designed to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding gaming ecosystem.

At its heart, this collaboration represents a convergence of two legacies. 

Backstage Pass, long recognised for its deep academic foundation and ties to the gaming industry, brings intellectual rigour and real-world expertise.

Frameboxx, with its vast national presence and creative training infrastructure, offers accessibility and scale. Together, they aim to democratise professional game development education for students across India from metros to small towns.

The partnership will roll out a series of programs, including:

Diploma in Game Development with Unity

Diploma in Game Development with Unreal

Diploma in Game Design and Production

Diploma in Virtual Reality Application Development

Advanced Diploma in Game Development

The courses will combine live online instruction from Backstage Pass faculty with on-site mentorship and lab training at Frameboxx centres nationwide. Students will receive joint certification from both institutions, along with opportunities for additional credentials from Lincoln University College and the Media & Entertainment Skills Council (MESC).

In a country where gaming is no longer a pastime but an emerging multibillion-dollar industry, this alliance feels timely, even urgent. “India’s gaming ecosystem is evolving at a phenomenal pace, creating a surge in demand for skilled developers and designers,” said Mr. Surya P, Founder and Managing Director of Backstage Pass. “This partnership enables us to bring structured, industry-relevant education to students nationwide, nurturing talent that is both technically sharp and creatively inspired.”

Echoing that sentiment, Rajesh Ramesh Turakhia, Founder Director of Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects, called the collaboration “a significant milestone” for India’s creative education sector. “By merging our infrastructure with Backstage Pass’s academic leadership, we’re building a platform that transforms students’ passion for gaming into global careers,” he said.

Looking ahead, the partnership is set to expand further, with university-affiliated degree programs in game development already in the pipeline, a move that could place India squarely on the map as a hub for world-class game education.

In a world increasingly driven by digital creation, this collaboration between Backstage Pass and Frameboxx signals something larger than education. It’s a statement that India is ready not just to play the game, but to design its future.
