skills.
Indywood
Founder
Director
Sohan
Roy
said
that
creating
a
pool
of
talents
is
the
need
of
the
hour,
as
the
demand
of
entertainment
industry
is
rising
globally.
"India's
entertainment
and
media
sector
is
expected
to
exceed
40
billion
US
dollar
by
2020.
India
is
currently
one
of
the
biggest
cinema
markets
in
the
world.
By
joining
hands
with
Face
of
India
we
expect
to
build
one
of
the
largest
talent
hunts
in
the
country.
It
will
be
an
ideal
platform
to
encourage
and
promote
talents," he
said.
Indywood

is
blessed
with
lot
of
talents
and
skills.
However
many
