A small idea and a handful of dedicated people led to Emantras Interactive Technologies taking root as a web development company focused in using Macromedia Flash to educate. Since then, Emantras has expanded across multiple domains within e-learning and digital media.
In 2008, Emantras took it one step higher by focusing on developing solutions for the "MEDIA" generation. This step was obvious given the rapid change in the ways young people gather and process information. They are digitally literate, mobility conscious, experimental and community-oriented. So, we at Emantras are defining and developing services and products that address their needs. mLab, one such unit of Emantras, has been involved in the fast-growing sectors of animation, user design and gaming.
As a part of our continuous expansion, Emantras currently runs its operations with its global head-quarters in Fremont, CA. Our business operations are based in Atlanta, GA, Los Angeles, CA, Philadelphia, PA, and Ridgewood, NJ in the US, with additional offices in Netherlands and France. Our state-of-the-art development and commercialization centers are based in Chennai, and Delhi, India.
