The dream to make a change
established by Saurabh Jethani

From a young age, Saurabh had a burning desire to bring characters to life, dreaming of becoming a game artist. He graduated high school with this ambition, but the path forward was anything but clear. Despite scouring India for institutions that could nurture his talent, he found no place that could truly ignite his potential.
So with relentless resolve, he embarked on a self-taught journey, pouring over every resources he could find, spending countless hours practicing and refining his craft alone.
After years of self-training, he set his sights on Think Tank in Canada, a renowned institute for artists like him. The move was daunting, yet it marked the beginning of Saurabh’s ascent. Graduating with a diploma in game art, he quickly found his place in the industry and soon after began teaching at CGMA and Think Tank, sharing the insights and techniques he’s fought so hard to learn.
His journey led him to work with prestigious studios, contributing to Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 and leaving his mark on Horizon Forbidden West through Little Red Zombies, a respected Indian Studio. Eventually, he ascended to the role of Senior Character Artist at Slipgate Ironworks, where he was entrusted with some of the Industry’s most ambitious projects.
Yet, as he climbed higher, a deep calling stirred within him. Saurabh recognized the challenged he had faced were the same ones countless aspiring artists were still struggling with: the lack of accessible, high-quality education in game art. Driven by this dragon-hearted mission, he resolved to create something for them.
giving back to the community
Saurabh founded his own studio to create original IP and an outsourcing branch to support other developers, but it was The DRAGON’s Academy that embodied his true vision. Created to provide affordable, high-quality education, the Academy is dedicated to supporting talented students looking to improve their craft.
Through The DRAGON’s Academy, Saurabh hopes to give them the same chance he fought for—to learn, create and soar to their fullest potential carrying forward his legacy and lighting the way for a new generation of artists with the same fierce determination that drove his own journey.
Make in bharat
The DRAGON’s Academy is deeply committed to supporting the Make in Bharat initiative by nurturing homegrown talent. To empower aspiring game artists across the country, the Academy offers discounted pricing for Indian students, making high-quality, industry-relevant education accessible to a wider audience.
By removing financial barriers, Saurabh and The DRAGON’s Academy hope to fuel creativity and growth within India’s game development industry, encouraging a generation of artists to realize their potential and contribute to India’s creative future.
