I’m back in the U.K. after being involved in another exciting and inspiring Bengaluru GAFX 2026 event and spending several more days exploring great business potential in India.

GAFX is Asia’s largest summit for the Games, Animation, VFX and Comics industries. This year was my fourth return participating in the B2B, considering pitches from independent creators, ip holders, producers and entrepreneurs. Year on year the quality of the concepts and storytelling grows and, combined with the technical expertise and innovation Indian studios are renowned for, their original ip is on the rise…

GAFX feels like a dynamic community sharing ideas, insights and innovation to elevate the entire industry and I’m proud to be part of the ecosystem. It was extremely fulfilling to meet creators who have previously pitched to me at the B2B - some of whom I’ve known and mentored or worked with since 2018 - to see how far they’ve progressed with their ip and projects. It’s evidence of how we can grow together when we collaborate, look for new opportunities and cheerlead each other; always finding a way - “like water” - as Biren Ghose once told me.

A sincere thank you to Biren Ghose, Chand R K, Srinivas Sribhakta, Lawrence Anthony, Ajay Apparoop, Aakil Nagaraju and the entire, supportive Bengaluru GAFX 2026 Team for inviting me back again to participate this year. It was truly an honour and another memorable experience.

I can also thank GAFX for uniting me with my dynamic Creative Partner, Akshay Sanjeev Chavan at Living Line Animation Studio, https://www.livingline.tv based in Hyderabad. Akshay and I are collaborating with international Teams to bring some exciting new content to market later this year!

I must give a shout-out to Grace Lane from Blue Zoo who gave a brilliant talk on creating successful globally-resonant ip. Great to see MOJO SWOPTOPS on screen behind her as an example! I’m proud to be a writer on the ratings-smashing series!

This trip gave me more opportunities to network with incredible, talented professionals from multiple sectors within the content industry and I’ve returned feeling uplifted and inspired. I always LOVE being in India. It’s a transformative place and the Games, Animation, VFX and Comics industries are transforming there… I made many new friends across India and I can’t wait to go back - 🔜! - Angela Salt

I’m delighted to be returning to Bengaluru GAFX for the fourth time. Year on year the quality and creativity of the pitches I receive at the B2B event increases. Last year I found a dynamic new creative partner, Akshay Chavan at https://www.livingline.tv and we’ve been collaborating with an international team on multiple exciting projects over the past 12 months. I’m looking forward to meeting many new creatives, producers, animators, game designers, ip owners and entrepreneurs; building new relationships and participating in all the fun, wonder and amazing innovation of GAFX 2026! I cannot wait to be back in India! - Angela Salt.

Here’s a great highlight reel giving a glimpse of last year’s Bengaluru GAFX event with over 15,000 attendees! I was honoured to be a returning guest speaker in 2025, co-hosting a masterclass session on developing ip for global markets and mentoring delegates in B2B speed-meetings.

I’m proud to have been part of the GAFX ‘family’ for eight years now, since my first trip to India for the Bengaluru B2B Summit in 2018, invited by Biren Ghose, organised and hosted by ABAI Avgc and supported by The Govt.of Karnataka. I’ve been involved with numerous animation projects originating in India since then and I continue to mentor and work with Indian companies, producers, creatives and entrepreneurs.

GAFX always showcases amazing innovation in the animation, games and VFX industries. That said, it’s been particularly exciting for me to see the huge leaps forward in terms of creative development and storytelling over the past few years - last year’s B2B cohort brought an array of well-developed, sophisticated and marketable concepts to the table.

GAFX 2025 was also hugely significant personally because it’s where I had a serendipitous meeting with visionary Creative Director, Akshay Sanjeev Chavan, founder of Living Line Animation Studio based in Hyderabad.

Akshay and I forged a dynamic creative partnership and ‘story-engine’ as a result and we have been working together for almost 12 months now, with our global team and in collaboration with other companies around the world, on a number of exciting international projects to be revealed in 2026!

GAFX 2026 promises to be another fantastic event, helping to shape the future of the creative industries in India and beyond. It’s coming…! Maybe you should be going?! - Angela Salt

Congratulations to the entire Team who bring Mojo and Bo to life onscreen. I am in awe of the skills of all involved.

I was delighted to be able to toast the nomination with Alison Warner who deserves BIG props for being such a longstanding, active champion of the show.

I LOVED writing for MOJO. It was a dream for a vehicle-mad gal like me! One of my episodes, STINKANO, is among the most viewed on BBCiPlayer / CBeebies. It’s still available to watch!

I’m proud to be associated with Living Line Animation Studio, based in Hyderabad, India, working in collaboration with Founder and CEO, Akshay Chavan, and a talented, international Team.

I had a serendipitous meeting with Akshay when we were both guest speakers at Bengaluru GAFX 2025 earlier in the year and we formulated an ambitious plan to combine our creative skills, capabilities and decades of experience in the global animation industry.

In my role as Creative Partner I’m helping to develop, produce and write for Living Line’s exciting slate of original ip across platforms, and in various formats including short-form, for global audiences from preschool to young adult.

We are also seeking to collaborate and partner with other studios around the world; exploring new, entrepreneurial co-production models and finding innovative, agile ways to tell bold new stories, from the heart.

Today - on India’s 79th Independence Day - we’ve officially launched Living Line’s brand new website!

This is just the beginning - Much more to come further along the LIVING LINE…!

It was wonderful meeting up in Sheffield alongside talented colleagues and industry friends; making new connections; exploring possibilities and sitting in on stimulating sessions at The Children’s Media Conference - The CMC - this week. It was even more fun being there with my son who was volunteering for the second year. Our industry may be in a state of unsettling flux - but it’s always a positive thing to be under the wing of this superb and supportive conference with changemakers, visionaries and pioneering independent creators.
