notes Now, we have 70 people working with us. Our revenue is around ` 2 crore (` 20 million) this
year. We expect to double our revenues ever year. Now the sky is the limit. I have faith that
one day we will make a world renowned movie and will make India proud of us.
Indian content is as yet unexplored and in the future you will see Indian stories being watched
all over the world. People are tired of seeing the same old Jack and Jill stories. Indian characters
are unique and they will rule the world soon.
The first successful animation film was The Jungle Book and it was based in India and all the
characters are Indian and have Indian names. Our first animation feature film of 100 minutes
will be on Lord Ganesh and it will be released on the next Ganesh Chaturthi in 2007.
We want to start animation schools all over India as there is severe manpower shortage and a
lot of poaching takes place now, which is not healthy for the industry. We may require 1,000
people in the next three years. Our ambition is to be the number one in the world like Walt
Disney. In the next 10 years, we want to be a global player.
