The India story<br />
The Indian animation industry comprises of independent<br />
animation studios like DQ Entertainment and Green Gold<br />
Animation, Indian divisions of international studios like<br />
Rhythm and Hues and Technicolor, animation divisions of<br />
large Indian houses like Tata Elxsi and Reliance Animation<br />
and several small independent studios. It is estimated<br />
that there are about 300 animation companies in India<br />
employing more than 12,000 people with nearly a quarter<br />
working as freelance animators. 1<br />
Outsourced work remains a significant component (63<br />
percent) 2 of industry revenues. Indian players are primarily<br />
focussed on labour-intensive production and postproduction<br />
activities at the lower end of the value chain<br />
although some firms are moving up the value chain. While<br />
there are a few firms with world-class capabilities, there<br />
is a need for a wider section of the industry to upscale<br />
their capabilities by focusing on creation of proprietory<br />
content; unfortunately India has so far been unable to offer<br />
a larger domestic market to support this transition. Content<br />
development and pre-production activities for the domestic<br />
and the outsourcing markets are at a nascent stage in<br />
India. However, this is expected to gain momentum owing<br />
largely to corporate e-learning programs and to universities<br />
offering degree courses in animation. This requirement for<br />
content, added to the inclination of corporates (especially in<br />
the US) to outsource custom content development, is likely<br />
to be an opportunity for animation content development<br />
companies in India.<br />
