Impact of Compensation, Job Satisfaction and Remote Working on Talent Retention in Indian Animation Industry.

The animation sector is becoming increasingly vital to India’s economic development, where attracting and retaining talent has become a top priority for studios operating in India. The animation industry operates on the same old capitalist premise—cut production costs by recruiting fewer regular and more irregular employees. Animators often move to wherever they find work, adding to the feeling of displacement and resentment. This paper reviews how the compensation practices in the animation industry in India impact the retention of artists and offers suggestions for improving workforce retention, which is currently at 25.6% for animators and 22.3% for 3D artists, with the turnover rates more than double the global average.
