The studio which currently has a team strength of 32 artists and is looking to ramp up to at least half its maximum capacity of 100 is also involved in creating advertisement clips, social messages, home videos, educational ROMS and interactive CDs.
Speaking on the occasion ettaminA studios co founder Amit Anand shared with Animation ‘xpress the outline of the studios’ business model,”Our constant endeavour is to be involved with work that has a present and a future. We consciously invest in building Intellectual Property for the long run but at the same time provide development-partner services to many clients over the medium term”
“Our philosophy lies in thinking differently, in truly thinking differently. Every work of the studio goes through a “Think Differently” panel that strives hard to challenge the norm and ensure that we consistently deliver refreshing concepts and creatives” he added.
“We are also a strong believer of the potential in the domestic market and have always focused on our growth as a derivative of the demand in the local market. Our current expansion drive is to further expand our name as a leading and comprehesive animation provider for the domestic market” concluded Anand.
