Indian Companies Excel in E-Publishing

Over eight years ago, NASSCOM, India’s apex forum for the IT sector had come up with an interesting report on the animation industry in the country. This report provided insights on industry trends, growth drivers, issues, challenges, and opportunities. Thus it had highlighted how despite the global recession, this industry grew at a CAGR of 22% and the segment of gaming that is associated with this recorded almost 50% growth.

Since then the pointer has been on the upward trend. And today, with the recently launched Digital India mission, these signs are poised for further growth. The credit for these is attributed to the companies which offer 2D animation design services. In fact, by developing competency in creating rich graphics these Indian enterprises have created a commendable impact at home as well as abroad in both the e-Learning domain and allied applications. Such 2D animations with appropriate background depictions and integrated audio effects (VFX in short) have enhanced the value of the story in the presentations.
