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 />
