A decade ago, 88 Pictures started with a dream. Now, that dream spans Mumbai, Bengaluru, Toronto and London, powered by thousands of frames, countless creative minds and an ambition that shows no signs of slowing down.
As the animation studio celebrates its 10th anniversary, it is looking back at a journey defined by belief, perseverance and collaboration. What began as an idea nurtured by a small group of dreamers has grown into an international animation company with a presence across multiple markets and a reputation for delivering world-class content.
88 Pictures founder and CEO Milind Shinde shared with Animation Xpress, “What began as a dream fuelled by belief, courage and the collective efforts of passionate individuals has grown into a reality over the last decade. These 10 years have been about building a strong foundation, overcoming challenges and creating a culture of excellence. As we look ahead, our focus is on growth, scale and making a lasting impact on the global stage. None of this would have been possible without the people who believed in our vision and helped shape it every step of the way. We remain committed to setting new benchmarks, inspiring innovation and building a legacy that endures for generations to come.”
This milestone serves as both a celebration of its journey so far and a stepping stone towards its future ambitions. The company views its first decade as a period of building a strong foundation through creativity, collaboration and perseverance. Looking ahead, 88 Pictures aims to focus on growth, scale and expanding its global impact, while continuing to push the boundaries of excellence.
Reflecting on the milestone, the company highlighted that its first decade was never simply about growth in numbers or geography. Instead, it was about laying the groundwork for something larger, building a foundation strong enough to support the next phase of its journey.
Over the years, 88 Pictures has navigated the highs and lows that come with building a creative business, relying on the collective efforts of its artists, storytellers, technicians and partners.
The studio credits its success to the collective efforts of its employees, partners and supporters, whose belief in the vision has helped shape the company into what it is today. With a solid foundation in place, 88 Pictures is now setting its sights on building a lasting legacy in the years to come.
In their next chapter, the studio will focus on pushing boundaries, setting new industry benchmarks and creating a legacy that extends far beyond its first decade.
As 88 Pictures enters its second act, the message is clear: the first 10 years built the foundation, but the next 10 are about building the legacy. For a studio that started with a dream and a leap of faith, the story is far from over, the best frames may still be ahead.
