Poised for growth in India, Multimedia's usage has expanded in films,
television, animation, gaming, music, Internet, digital products and
services. A Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI)
report projects revenues from the entertainment industry (includes films, TV
and Music) to double to $6 billion by 2006. Moreover, the thrust on the
multimedia segment is visible with the Confederation of Indian Industry
(CII) declaring 2002-03 as the `Year of the Multimedia'. Requirements in
these segments include supervisors, animators, compositors and programmers.
