Sony Sees India As "Key Development Hub"

[absolute55]

Sony Compunter Entertainment is looking to India. Makes sense as the country has established itself in the animation industry, so gaming seems like a logical next stop. Says SCEE country manager for India Atindriya Bose:

The competence and the state of readiness of the Indian developers makes it imperative that India soon will emerge as a key development hub for many international games companies.

Sony has already signed 13 developers, including Indian devs, up to produce local and international content for the PlayStation platform.

not only sony but lot of other international companies want A "Key Development Hub".
Speaking to Develop as part of our focus on Asian territories, SCEE's country manager for India Atindriya Bose has said that the region's talent will soon see it play a part in many international studios' development plans.

"The competence and the state of readiness of the Indian developers makes it imperative that India soon will emerge as a key development hub for many international games companies," said Bose.

"There are already established players in the animation area. The country’s capability in the IT space today is unquestioned. There are gaming companies being set up to be able to combine these strengths and move into the space of game development."


SCEE has itself been one of the first companies to really target the region, recently signing several deals for India-specific games - no doubt due to the growth in gaming in the region, which Bose puts down at around a six times jump in the last fiscal reports.
