Bengaluru is all set to ride a huge wave in the animation, visual effects, gaming and comics (AVGC) and XR (augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality (MR), and everything in between) segment as Karnataka’s consistent efforts in building and developing this industry have already captured the serious attention of global buyers, said Ashish Kulkarni, chairman of FICCI AVGC Forum and also founder and former chairman ABAI, the industry’s apex body.
“Bengaluru is already a top AVGC content destination for many global players. Year-after-year, we see the number of these customers who outsource their projects to various content providers in the city or wanting to buy original content from local developers in Karnataka on the rise,’‘ Mr. Kulkani told The Hindu.
Karnataka’s annual AVGC-XR exposition, GAFX, which was originally started as an animation fest by ABAI years ago, has now become one of the “must visit”‘ events globally.
