ABOUT US

For Studios and Publishers, traditional outsourcing models have proven costly, often requiring more supervision and resources than expected to achieve quality return on the investment made.
How is Lakshya different? Our team of industry professionals, based offshore in India and onshore in the US and Japan, collaborate throughout the development process to reduce turn-around time and client costs, while delivering a greater volume of high quality content.

LAKSHYA ADVANTAGE

Whether a high volume of content on a tight schedule, or the generation of specific assets that requires dedicated attention, we understand the issues that arise in the development process. Our team of industry veterans helps manage projects efficiently, foresees and provides solutions to the challenges that may arise during the production process, delivering the highest quality at the best value while adhering to the strictest standards of QC and Security.

Operating in concert with our team of Industry professionals in India, Japan and Seattle, Lakshya is able to step in at any point in the development cycle to produce high-end next-generation Art content that matches the specific needs of our clients. We can support any Engagement Model that works best for the client – Onsite, Remote or Hybrid.

Our onshore teams in US and Japan not only work in a similar time zone as our clients, but also ensure that off-shore production teams understand the minutest of cultural nuances and that nothing is lost in translation. Onshore teams are available for face-to-face meetings to work out best possible solutions for our clients’ art needs.
