What was the inspiration to start Trine Entertainment?
Sangam and I were always in love with interactive visual art. Two years back when I returned to India after my education in animation in the US, we witnessed lot of small and mid sized animation and gaming companies developing content but without a great emphasis on quality.
This prompted us to start a company which can develop and deliver quality content, may be even better when compared to the west. The content that we have developed is not just for local market but for the global audience. Indian animation and gaming industry is yet to mature especially for quality content developers.
How did you and Sangam get interested in gaming? How is it to have your brother as your partner?
Both of us have been avid gamers when we were kids and were keen to work together since our childhood.
Sangam's interest was more towards programming and coding so he opted to do his bachelor's in game design and I went for my computer animation degree after graduation from Pune University, and did my B.E in computer science.
It feels great to have my brother as my partner because we trust each other and have the same goals and interests. Being completely in sync, it allows us to synergize our business interests.
