Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics(AVGC) Sector in India

Online gaming is a rising sector in India. There are more people interested in game development and with increasing quality of engineers passing out each year, it is just a matter of time before India becomes a major powerhouse of gaming and animation. Everyone I meet talks of making android games.
It is said that majority of the work happening in the country is low end. We still lack in quality of gaming professionals.
There are is a lot of talent esp artistic talent. Numbers that I read are like gaming industry was worth more than 1 billion dollars in 2012. Karnataka itself has about 20 animation and gaming training institutes with more than 60 campuses training about 10,000 students at any time. This sector is a ripe area for collaboration between major engineering colleges and such run of the mill Institutes running on rented premises.
There is lot of scope for joint projects/infrastructure sharing and joint diploma courses. Launching high end game titles require years of experience in algorithms, computer graphics as well as art. Software industry is nearing stagnation and revenue growth has slowed. Young software engineers may not be suitable in AVGC Industry as they may not possess requisite skills.
We cannot foresee an electronic arts(EA),Adobe or Pixar kind of company to germinate in India at the moment but there are ominous signs of such a possibility in the future.
