MUMBAI:
It has been a decade but it does not seem too long back to
me that I inaugurated www.indiantelevision.com.
 The
last decade has witnessed the rise of the Indian media and
entertainment industry. At stages, the industry has outperformed
the Indian economy and is without doubt amongst the fastest
growing sectors.
The
industry has also garnered a remarkable share in the Asian
media and entertainment pie. The industry remains the largest
producer of films, though it has to go through some structural
changes to become a significant player in the world.
In
the context of the Indian media and entertainment industry,
the filmed entertainment and television segment dominates
the industry followed by print, radio and music. This website
is not merely a source of information; it is also a platform
for industry's decision makers to put forward their opinions
and views regarding critical issues that face our industry.
In
the past decade another property achieved by this website
has been the awards for recognising quality work and appreciating
talent. The fact that digital media is the next big thing
in the Indian media space is now common knowledge. By calendar
year 2013 the Indian animation industry's growth is estimated
to stand strong at $811.2 million. It will be interesting
to see how Indiantelevision.com participates in this growth.
An
initiative which can be taken up is to organise a summit or
forum for the student community. Students who are the leaders
of tomorrow will definitely be benefited by an event dedicated
to enhancing their knowledge about our industry. In addition,
their views and opinions will also enlighten us to what the
young India dreams of and wants.
I
wish the entire team at Indiantelevision the very best for
the future.
