After the slew of elegantly created movies on Indian mythological characters like Hanuman, Krishna, Rama, Ganesha - animation has been a much sought after course in India. India is emerging as an outsourcing hub for animation and visual effects with large number of international media companies entering into joint ventures with animation studios in India.
Animation market in India was $460M in 2008 and growing at a CAGR of 30-40% annually, it is expected to touch 1.2 billion USD by 2012 (as per a research by ResearchandMarkets group).
