People believed that the media boom, which began in the mid 90s was a temporary one. However, this has proven wrong as the Indian media industry is growing by leaps and bounds.
There are homemakers and other professionals who have stepped into the field of scriptwriting and are doing well for themselves, in fact extremely well, roping in a couple of lakhs per month.
Today, the Indian film industry is estimated to invest about Rs. 8,000 crores per year into making films, and the TV industry is worth approximately Rs. 4,000 to 5,000 crores.
There is an ever-growing demand for innovative scripts for both films and television. And one need not work on a full time basis, but put in a couple of hours per day from home, or sitting on the sets and writing out scripts.
Nonetheless the initial struggle is tiresome, but after getting that one break life is smooth sailing and well paying. For those who wish to enter this profession there are various institutes in India that conduct scriptwriting courses on this subject.
