First Digital Entertainment City
Techtree News Staff, Jan 21, 2008 1705 hrs ISTThe 'Digital Entertainment City' will house gaming and animation companies, film production houses and music studios, training academies and support offices.
If the government of the state of Andhra Pradesh gets to have its way, India will soon get its first ever 'Digital Entertainment City'.
The Andhra Pradesh government, in collaboration with a consortium of business/commercial establishments in the state, is mulling the country's first 'Digital Entertainment City', to be located in the capital of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.
A public-private partnership, the initiative involves the likes of Gemini TV, FXLabs, DQ Entertainment, and Suresh Productions.
The proposed 'Digital Entertainment City' will house an eclectic mix of gaming and animation companies, film production houses and music studios, training academies and support offices, not to mention an entertainment complex -- all within one sprawling space.
The 'Digital Entertainment City' will also have incubators for start-up companies to make and test their products.
Towards this ambitious project, the Andhra Pradesh government will allot nearly 100 to 200 acres of land in and around Hyderabad.
A special 'Digital Entertainment City Task Force' or DECTF has already been formed, comprising government representatives and biz leaders to spearhead and manage the 'Digital Entertainment City' project.
Work on the project is expected to begin in June, with the first phase slated to reach completion by December this year.
Commenting on the initiative, S K Joshi, secretary to the Andhra Pradesh government (Information Technology and Communications Department), said the 'Digital Entertainment City' will facilitate the development and establishment of a world-class infrastructure to encourage the growth of animation, gaming, television, film, multimedia, radio, music, and new media industries in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
