The mention of word 'Animation,' brings to your mind various cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse of Disney or Tom & Jerry. The animation industry has seen tremendous growth and is now becoming mainstream in film entertainment and television broadcast.
India is increasingly presenting itself as a favorable destination for the animation industry particularly in post production & 3D content development activity.
Many entertainment giants, such as Walt Disney, Sony Pictures and Turner Entertainment, which makes television commercials and computer games, are off-shoring animation content to India. This is a huge job opportunity for the young and talented students in this booming industry.
An individual should give emphasis to earning a higher education, whether it is just taking individual courses or pursuing a certificate or degree program in order to specialize in animation and multimedia.
According to the FICCI-KPMG report, the estimated size of the Indian animation industry is around Rs 1,740 crore and is expected to reach Rs. 3,900 crore by 2013 with a CAGR of 17.8 per cent.
