virtualinfocom

Founded in Kolkata in 1998, Virtualinfocom combines games, animation, virtual reality and information technology services. The company says it began with the aim of bringing art and technology together, and it presents itself as one of the oldest game studios in India, with Bengal's first game development studio among its claims.

Games built around films and legends

Much of the studio's game work adapts local screen and mythological material. Its site lists games linked to West Bengal and Bangladesh films, a superhero title based on the character Shaktimaan, a mythology-based role-playing game, and 3D racing titles set in Bhutan and Nepal. The studio also describes virtual reality shooter and fighting games, along with Android games and mobile gaming. Beside the game work it runs a cosplay portal and has produced a cosplay show in Bengal since 2016.

Animation, film and generative AI

The studio makes animated films, short films, comics, music videos, corporate films, advertisements and visual effects. Its site describes 3D and 2D animated characters, and it says it has produced what it calls India's first movie made with generative AI, a time-travel story built around a mythological gem. The company also offers animation tools and digital marketing for clients who need campaigns alongside finished film work.

Smart city systems and software

Smart city work forms a separate strand. The studio describes solutions that combine virtual reality, metaverse tools, blockchain, the internet of things, robotics, artificial intelligence and intelligent traffic systems. Its examples include buildings designed to save energy, security monitoring, drones, health-tracking wearables, apps that let residents engage with city services and digital twins, with blockchain used to add transparency. The software lines include mobile apps for Android and iPhone, machine learning, simulation, blockchain development, crypto wallets and NFT marketplaces, alongside industrial design work.

Clients and reach

The company says it has a presence in South Korea, Dubai, Australia, South Africa and the United States as well as in India. Its research and development team works on what it describes as the requirements of next-generation animation and gaming, and the company presents that work as the basis for its later projects.
