Professionals in this career usually enroll in an art-related Bachelor's degree programme that includes hands-on project experience.

    If you want to know about the animation career, my suggestion is to be well trained in both 2d & 3d animation. Don't join the company who offers only 8-10 thousands per month. Please search for good companies and face the interview. Always prepare a good portfolio before applying in any company.

    You are correct.
    India has more than 300 animation studios, which employ over 15,000 animation professionals. The gaming industry is one of the top employers and they also pay quite well. Though entertainment through film and television is the main area of application in this profession, animation is also needed in other areas such as business, sales, engineering, education and advertising.
