To juggle between three independent yet integrated enterprises and ensure that each emerges successful is no cushy task, but Ranjana Kanti epitomised entrepreneurship against all odds. She runs Clay n’ Color Communications, an ad agency which provides a 360 degree branding and integrated marketing communication solutions and PR support. Simultaneously, she also looks after the sister concerns — E-dutainment Unlimited, which offers quality education and industry-relevant training to aspiring animators, digital filmmakers and students and Redstreet Productions, a production house.
Established in 2003, Clay n’ Color is among the fastest emerging creative agencies, which strives continually to fulfil the demands of each of its clients by providing 360 degree market solutions. Its designs spell function, elegance and efficacy while its solutions allow for communication synergy that is integral to every brand managers’ goal.
Redstreet Productions, on the other hand, is a full-service production house comprising highly talented and creative personnel, most of whom are graduates of top institutions like Sheridan, VFS and NID. The firm primarily functions to plan, create and implement solutions within an infinite range of audio-visual communications.
Specialising in 3D animation and gaming is E-dutainment Unlimited, which undertakes 3D animation assignments and projects having live-action elements or vice-versa. Besides developing its own IP content, the organisation engages in high quality work for developing 3D products and character, models, animations, game cinematic and game assets and interiors, among others.
“From advertising commercials to making corporate films and documentaries, we harness diverse media and grab audience attention. We also provide communication solutions that are original and effective and ensure to cater to all the creative processes of production,” said Kanti.
What differentiates Clay n’ Color Communications from other advertising firms in the field is its brilliant campaigning which includes creative concepts, digital displays, printed posters, web banners, audio visuals and almost everything that is required to create the right kind of buzz in the market. The company’s well-equipped team of passionate experts enjoys excellent track record with clients, which include large corporate houses as well as niche companies. “Our creativity, value-added marketing and timely deliverables transform the client’s vision into reality — “Shaping Ideas to Life”.
Along with the talent of our full-service agency, our client roster benefits also from the resources provided by our sister companies, Redstreet Productions and E-dutainment Unlimited,” explained Kanti.
One of the biggest challenges Kanti faced is still trying to overcome is to make the campaign ‘India Redefined’ a success. “It is a movement to enlighten every Indian citizen and make them aware of their rights and responsibilities, a movement that resurrects India to regain its lost glory. It is for those Indians who seek to change the country before proudly handing it over to their next generation,” asserted Kanti adding that “the movement is still at an evolutionary stage and there are plenty of challenges that still need to be overcome.
So far, the biggest achievement for the company is the merger with international firms and the immense exposure to the different aspects of digital filmmaking. Besides, Kanti’s relentless hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed either. In 2007, she was recognised during an event ‘Women of Substance’ for the enormous effort she put for a successful entrepreneurial venture. She was also featured in a publication ‘Stree Shakti’ released in the following year. This apart she was also interviewed by a Mumbai-based news channel and got featured in the cover story of magazines like Digit Magazine and articles in newspapers like DNA and Metro.
For years now, E-dutainment Unlimited has also been providing training and education in graphics, multimedia and animation to people in the age group of 7-70. These also include a number of economically deprived kids who are trained and later find good placements in the industry which has a huge demand for such skilled personnel. As of now it is also looking to recruit creative designers, preferably NID freshers, and marketing persons for Clay n’ Color Communications.

hi mam good jobs,best of luck for achieving your goals
Training, educating, and inspiring people to appreciate their culture and country is one of the greatest challenges that one can undertake, yet it offers the highest rewards. Ranjana has done this by touching each individual’s life with her work, letting them know that no matter how socially awkward, no matter how damaged, no matter how much someone is different — people are rare, valuable, and worth knowing. Ranjana is a true leader of India…and the world as well.

Great movement ang wonderful companies
Ranjana Kanti is the leader of great movement India – Redefined with overwhelming support of thousands of people from across the world.
Please see Ranjana Kanti’s interview on http://www.indiaredefined-a4c.org. Also help her in making more and more people join this movement, especially those who are ready to take leadership of their local areas. Unless India Redefined Movement becomes powerful we can not do anything about Redefining India.
Best wishes !! You are doing great job.
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without your emotion and effort. And You are already far ahead in that process. Great work. Count on me too for your movement, India Redefined. Gud Luck
Kudos Kudos
Creating replicable projects & giving them optimum visibility is the Mantra.

Hi,
Congratulations for this achievement,
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FEATURE
Sincere regards
Ujjwal Shirsat.
In my opinion you deserve the MPEC award.
I had visited your profile & after that tried to search about you & find very impressive informations about you. Your movement site should be little bit more informative, but your Production house sites are really impressive. I’ll definitely recommend anyone to visit your sites
redstreetproductions.com & edutainmentunlimited.co.in
best of luck…see u as the winner of MPEC’09
I want to be like you & be with you…
How you handle all of these? I can’t even manage my homework…myself.
Congrats & wish you to became MPEC ’09 winner.
speaking as her son, i can proudly call her my mother, as she has given me the best environment to grow up in, given me the best of education, and allowed me to chase my dreams. i just hope i cross the high bar she has set for me, which is evident from her long, lasting achievements in her career. a woman of such high morale and caliber deserves nothing less than a standing ovation.
brilliant profile. ideal (and best) candidate for the entrepreneurship award, and your exemplary hard work and dedication towards your field/career and social causes upgrades your achievements, identity and status to another level. wish you all the best for the future and continue inspiring the younger generations. congratulations.
Congrats for your noble cause of training slum dwellers in the field of multimedia. As well as for your initiatives for redefining India through your movement Indiaredefined-a4c.
After that your involved in marketing & production through your companies Redstreet Productions & ClaynColor Comm. shows that you have tremendous source of energy & willpower to handle all of these stuffs.
My salute to you & all WOMEN Power that going to revolutionaries our Nation…..Congrats once again!
Loved your profile. Count me in your movement India Redefined
Great work. Saw websites of your companies, Redstreet Productions, E-dutainment Unlimited and clay n color communications. Very good works. I will promote your movement India Redefined. We really need such initiatives in our country.
Ranjana is an entrepreneur in true sense – social entrepreneur and business entrepreneur both. I saw india redefined website. Saw her interview and also on this website “click to view about her” . I think whole world should support a person like her with no vested interest.
I know Ranjana mam since 5 years.Have seen her spendind every bit of her resources, energy, money (whatever she earns from her husband’s companies )for such causes. Have never met so selfless person in my entire life. She really deserves this prize money, by which many slum youths will get graphics-animation training. Without forming any Ngo, she has worked for underpriviledged.She generates her resources by bringing business for her production house, animation studio and ad agency and getting percentage out of it, by which she pays the training fees of these slums. Her companies also do good creative works, which one can see on their websites. I try to help Ranjana mam in all her activities.
I absolutely love Ranjana Kanti’s outlook, attitude and enthusiasm towards life and towards her work. We can sincerely expect great things from her and those she impacts through her life and her work. I will look forward to keeping track of her developments.
hats off for your great job, I think you really deserve the MPEC award.
I wish U best of luck for bright future…
It was very inspiring. In our Bharat, since ages, our Rishis, Maharishis have bowed to the power of Shakti…….In this men dominated world, due to false ego, we all forgot this universal and eternal truth that nothing moves without Shakti and you represent the same…….My best wishes to accomplish more….. More to see in future.
Regards,
Madhukar Panday

Ranjana seems to have a unique ability to connect with people and motivate them by her transparent and down to earth attitude. Her efforts in vocational education of slum youth through her Animation Studio and now trying to make public servants accountable through her movement “India Redefined” are commendable.
I wish her success and consider her a worthy candidate for this challenge
I tried to find about Ranjana Kanti and her companies E-dutainment Unlimited,Redstreet Productions, and Clay n colors Communication-ad agency. They have done some great works in ad films, animation. But most amazing part was running this movement India Redefined, without any financial support by forming NGO. Thousands of people have joined this under Ranjana’s leadership.She deserves the best support from these challenge competitions, media and all indians
Mam you have taken more difficult challenges in your life than this most popular entrepreneurship challenge 2009. Want to see some ads made by your company Redstreet productions and will support you all my life for this movement lead by you India Redefined

A person who was chosen as a sole awardee in the social sector, of Global Youth 2009 Award at the India Habitat Center on 12th August 2009, International Youth Day, and who as initiated the most difficult movement in indian history -India Redefined, definitely deserves the best. This award will be utilized for better purpose by her than others who will use this for their business. She has supported so many slum youth without forming any NGO, and still struggling. Please see her social works list http://www.indiaredefined-a4c.org and see her interview on this site.
This is a promise to this great person that I will try to make people awared about this India Redefined movement. We all are with you. May you win this award and use it for better causes than others.
Great works. You are infact the most popular Entrepreneur, whom 29000 people are already following in this movement lead by you. Add me to your movement, India Redefined.

It is great to see your interview on http://www.indiaredefined. By being a part of this great step taken by you, all indians can collectively have a voice to express our opinions for change and make a difference to our society and governance at large. We all salute this effort taken by Ranjana.
