exactly. india aint land for devlopmnt of AA or AAA games published by EA,Ubisoft,Activison.etc
if you are lookin for gettin into teams simliar to the one which are involved in big games published by these game giants then look to US,UK or Japan.india aint got balls in game dev.
moreover it req. specialized training and lots of experience to get into such teams.
which sadfuly isnt available to indian students expect at one institue DSK supinfocom where there is a fee of 24 lac + for 5 yr course.
more importantly EA,Ubisoft are more publishers to be specific .They have tie ups with several game studioz who actually devlop games for them.As well as they have their own dev studios and acquired studios.

hold on
yeap, just becoz you arent making AAA games, which only really applies to consoles which are used by a fraction of a population compared to casual, web and importantly, mobile titles, everyone has one in their pockets come on... so theres a ton of dough to be made here, which is why Indiagames with stick cricket is right in the top 100 game studios in the world, a list to which a much more "visible" AAA company which is mostly making mobile/flash/casual content (LIKE EVERYONE ELSE including EA... )such as gameloft didnt make
no one is making AAA titles, every single title you are talking about is not as hardcore as it could have been because of the intense competition from bejewelled or a match 3 clone being a tap away
even console titles are dumbed down because of the competition from the fringe "gamers" who drool on the keyboard to get a nice big "win" splash on their screens
thiz isnt a prolem with "Indian gaming studios", in fact, we are perfectly poised, theres still time to go before the explosion, but that just means that anyone getting into the industry now will be the only real experts around
so do not give up hope just because you will have to maybe plan and design mobile or casual games, if you do not have a better reason. Indiagames is a MAJOR indian sucess story, AAAA grade or whatever, you have to be blind if you dont see it
well, the EA link by Anorion was nice share gr8 info
maybe in the coming 10years there will be jobs in the gaming industry, that too in India!!hope so
I will be the first to jump on a Gaming related Job!!
