01
Startups context
Funded startups needing investor-grade and customer-grade assets from one budget.
For startups teams, video sits inside an approval chain, not outside it. No forward-looking financial claims in public assets. We build that into the schedule rather than discovering it at the sign-off stage.
- Pitch films — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
- Product demos — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
- Founder stories — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
- Launch content — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.

What good looks like in this sector
One well-produced demo often outperforms a full deck in fundraising.
Production is the easy part; agreeing what the film must achieve is the work. In startups, the most common failure is a film that is technically excellent and commercially silent — beautiful footage that never states the proposition. We test the script against the buying decision before the camera is booked.

03
Formats that work for startups
Sector fit matters more than production value. These are the formats that consistently earn their budget here.
- Digital Ad Film Production — Lower CPA through creative variance, not more spend. 10-15 working days, Rs 2.5L - Rs 12L.
- Product Video Production — Product pages that convert without a discount. 2-3 weeks, Rs 1.8L - Rs 15L.
- Explainer Video Production — Shorter sales calls and fewer support tickets. 3-4 weeks, Rs 1.2L - Rs 6L.
- 2D Animation Services — A visual language you can reuse for years. 3-5 weeks, Rs 1.5L - Rs 9L.
- 3D Animation Services — Show the inside of a product without opening it. 4-8 weeks, Rs 3L - Rs 30L.
- Motion Graphics Design — Consistent on-brand motion across every deck and film. 2-4 weeks, Rs 90K - Rs 7L.
- Video Editing Services — Value recovered from footage sitting on a hard drive. 5-12 working days, Rs 35K - Rs 4L.
- Video Post Production — Broadcast-grade finish without five vendors. 2-4 weeks, Rs 1.2L - Rs 14L.
04
Approvals and compliance
No forward-looking financial claims in public assets. We route the script through your compliance reviewer before production starts, not after the edit, because a late legal change is the most expensive kind of change.
Where regulated claims are involved, we keep a claims-substantiation sheet alongside the script so every on-screen statement has a source.

Five ways startups video projects go wrong
Most failed video projects fail for the same handful of reasons. These are the ones we plan against.
- Skipping the recce: Most Mumbai overruns trace back to a location nobody visited before the shoot day.
- Briefing a format instead of an outcome: Asking for a two-minute corporate video is a specification, not a brief. Start from what has to change in the viewer's mind.
- Approving a script by committee: Every extra approver adds a message. Nominate one decision maker and let them arbitrate.
- Shooting without a distribution plan: A film with no media plan and no owner on the marketing side quietly dies on a shared drive.

Working with us
We are a Mumbai production company that works to a written scope, a fixed schedule and an agreed deliverable list. Briefs come in from marketing heads, founders, HR leads and agency partners, and all of them get the same first step: a conversation about the outcome.
If a video is not the right answer, we will say so. That has cost us projects and won us clients.
