Indian animation industry has proven itself over the years. What began as an offshore outsourced model is now witnessing tie-ups with international production houses like Walt Disney, IMAX and Warner Bros. According to Jaideep Ghosh, Director; KPMG, currently the entertainment animation in India accounts to 300 to 400 million dollars. The number can reach to 950 million dollars in next two to three years.

The panel shed a light on the problems that the industry is facing. While speaking on the occasion Rajesh Gupta, Director-Sales & Marketing, Intel said, "Technology plays an integral in animation. But the available solutions are not completely exploited. Traditionally SMEs approach technology in an ad-hoc manner". He added that even though there are a lot of people who are learning the tools of animation the real test comes in applying them in the right situations. Anand Gurnani of animation express.com noted that animation has always been a production specific industry but it is changing and is now witnessing a dearth of people.

On the positive side the panel noted that even though Indian animation industry did not have the 2D animation legacy, it is well poised to take on the 3D animation challenge.
