Saffron Interactive opens new R&D office in Pune, India

7-Sep-2010 Saffron Interactive, one of Europe's leading e-learning, mobile and blended learning companies is proud to announce the opening of a new R&D office in Pune, India.

The increase in demand for mobile learning in Europe has led Saffron to invest in a new centre of excellence focussed on the use of iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry devices for training. Following in the footsteps of Google, Cannon and Pfizer, Saffron has selected India for its R&D base. "India has a strong knowledge base and substantial intellectual capital, making it an ideal centre for any R&D activity", comments Saffron CEO Hanif Sazen. Saffron's initial projects include a platform that allows videos to be launched on an iPhone from Saffron's Moodle-based LMS.

About Saffron Interactive

The people at Saffron are passionate about learning. We are not interested in adding to the mountain of dull, mind-numbing 'e-telling' that often masquerades as e-learning. We want your people to be inspired, to be energised, to make the right choices and to take action. This is why we are in business.

As well as consistently producing award-winning e-learning, over the past two years we have pioneered mobile learning, social learning and blended learning. We are always exploring the possibilities offered by new technologies and methodologies to create bespoke solutions, tailor made for the organisation and the learner.

Our business is based on our belief that learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, that real learning is passionate learning and that learning should be fun. This idea values questions above answers...creativity above fact regurgitation...individuality above uniformity...and excellence above standardised performance. However we evolve, you can rest assured that all our learning solutions embody these principles.
