Opines Rishi Khemka, Director Maximus, “At present, the Indian animation industry is pegged at $250 million and is growing at an astounding growth rate of 30%. While only 3,000 people are employed in the industry today, the demand is of more than 10,000 animators, which itself signifies its importance of animation as an aspiring career option.” Surely, the scarcity of animation professional is a concern which needs to be quickly taken care of. Opines Shubho Shekhar Bhattacharjee, CEO Planman Life, “Th ough Hollywood has been producing quality animation movies like Finding Nemo, Shark Tale & Shrek, for Bollywood the experience has been short, but enthusiastic.
