Where Are the Motion Graphics Jobs in India?
On 7 November 2026, Internshala listed 137 motion graphics jobs across India[1]. Most were in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune and Hyderabad, with a good share of work-from-home roles. The employers were consumer brands, digital agencies, ed-tech companies, apps and production studios.
Delhi NCR has many agency and D2C brand roles. Remote roles are open to people in any city but usually ask for 1 year of experience, so most freshers start in an office and move to remote work later.

AI and Agentic AI in Motion Graphics Jobs
Employers now list AI video generation, AI image generation and AI voiceovers in their posts. Adobe's Creative Agent and the AI Assistant in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign can carry out several steps from one typed request, announced in June 2026[2]. Motion designers use AI to draft style frames, make rough 3D elements and extend backgrounds, then animate them in After Effects.
What the human still decides: the idea, the timing, the brand look and whether every frame is right. AI clips often flicker or break when they move. Someone has to fix them. CABA's courses now teach AI and agentic AI workflows inside the curriculum, with a human check on every frame.
