Poaching animators is a big problem in the Indian animation industry. In the run for outsourcing animation projects, new start-ups without any background in animation creation resort to unscrupulous manpower hunting. The fact of Poaching itself reflects the shortage of credible and trained manpower. On the other hand there is a desperate desire and belief in animation outsourcing potential and growth.

This can only happen if the manpower is available to animate the revenues.
