Tamil Nadu to boost gaming, animation, visual effects sectors
Tamil Nadu is rolling out a new policy to boost animation, visual effects, gaming, comics (AVGC), and extended reality (XR).
The plan covers education upgrades, think game design and animation in schools, plus better infrastructure, business support, and incentives.
The goal? Equip young people with future-ready skills and open up exciting career paths.
200,000 new jobs expected in the sector
This move could put Tamil Nadu at the heart of India's booming AVGC-XR scene.
With a Center of Excellence coming up in Chennai (and more cities later), plus startup-friendly perks such as co-working and studio spaces at the CoE and facilitation of access to funding and investors, there's real potential for fresh jobs and creative opportunities.
The state is aiming for up to a 20% share of India's AVGC-XR market and about 200,000 new jobs, so if you're into gaming or digital arts, this could be your moment.
