The company's Ultimate Women's Cricket League was also recognised as a Runner-Up in the Mobile Video Game category. In addition, 7Seas Entertainment received a nomination for Best AI for Ad Film Production for its work for Nirmala Coffee Works, Nellore.
The recognition highlights two areas central to the company's creative journey: developing original and engaging gaming experiences and exploring AI-assisted tools for new forms of visual storytelling.
Horse World Ride Wins Best Mobile Video Game
Horse World Ride is built around horse riding and exploration for mobile audiences. Its Best Mobile Video Game recognition reflects work across gameplay design, visual development, engineering, testing and the overall player experience.
The award-winning title is part of 7Seas Entertainment's wider mobile gaming portfolio. The company's official product portfolio lists Horse World Ride with a 4.1 rating and more than 500K downloads.
The game represents the company's focus on creating original mobile experiences that combine interactive gameplay with visual development and accessible entertainment.
Sand and Fire Explores AI-Powered Visual Storytelling
While Horse World Ride represents 7Seas Entertainment's mobile gaming capabilities, Sand and Fire highlights its exploration of AI-assisted visual production.
The project uses AI-assisted visual storytelling to explore photorealistic humans, animals and environments. Its recognition in the Best AI – Photoreal Humans & Animals category highlights the company's experimentation with emerging production technologies.
The project also reflects the company's approach to AI: technology can assist creative and technical teams, while human judgement, direction, quality control, intellectual-property considerations and final-release decisions remain important parts of the production process.
Managing Director L. M. Sanker on the Achievement
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. L. M. Sanker, Managing Director of 7Seas Entertainment Limited, said:
“Winning two awards across gaming and AI-led content is a proud moment for everyone at 7Seas. Horse World Ride reflects our passion for creating enjoyable and immersive games, while Sand and Fire represents our willingness to explore new methods of storytelling and visual production.”
He added that the recognitions belong to the company's developers, artists, designers, animators and every team member who worked patiently to turn original ideas into finished experiences.
“The awards give us confidence, but they also give us a greater responsibility to keep improving the quality and ambition of our work,” he said.
“Our aim is not simply to create more content. We want to create better experiences—games and stories that carry original thought, careful execution and the ability to connect with audiences,” Mr. L. M. Sanker noted.
