Speaking in this interview, Indian developer Sangam Gutpa has said that he ships the majority of artwork to his company’s Chinese arm as wage costs there are “half” those in India.

Gutpa is the CEO of Mumbai-based Trine Games. The 190 staff studio is currently working on racing game Streets of Mumbai, a title called Legends of Great India, a flight shooter called Wings of Control and a sports game for Wii and Xbox 360.

“Huge, huge, huge,” he said, when asked if there was a dearth of professionals in the country. “For the past year-and-a-half we have been doing things ourselves and training our guys.”
