The Events and Projects We've Covered

We’ve been on the ground at virtually every type of high-stakes corporate assignment you can think of.

MICE, Conferences & Summits

From multi-city dealer meets to international industry summits across Southeast Asia and South Asia. Full event documentation – keynotes, panel sessions, breakout rooms, networking moments – all captured without disrupting the flow.

Product Launches

One shot. One moment. Samsung, Hyundai, Daikin, Galderma – these aren’t forgiving briefs. We’ve photographed and filmed launches with Bollywood A-listers, ministers and global executives in the room.

Government & Defence Assignments

High-security, protocol-heavy work for organisations like the NSG and IAF demands a specific kind of professionalism. Discretion, precision, clearance compliance, zero room for error. We’ve been trusted with it.

Annual Days, Awards & Recognition Events

End-to-end coverage. The awards, the emotion, the culture, the unscripted in-between moments. These images and films become internal communications assets for years.

Employer Branding, Culture & Recruitment Films

For banks, equity funds, tech companies and FMCG giants competing for the same top talent – how your workplace looks and feels on camera matters enormously. We’ve built these films for some of India’s most respected employers.

CSR, Social Impact & Sustainability

Films and photography for CSR programmes, school adoption drives, community initiatives and sustainability campaigns – used in annual reports, board presentations and stakeholder communications.

Incentive Travels & International MICE

Sri Lanka. Thailand. Malaysia. Kathmandu. We travel wherever the brief takes us and deliver the same production standards as our India work – no compromise.

What We're Trusted to Deliver

Beyond event types, these are the specific formats brands return to us for:

→  Employer branding photography & films – recruitment campaigns, career pages, LinkedIn, internal culture decks

→  Brand films & company profiles – evergreen content that tells your story, values and vision

→  Customer & employee testimonial videos – high-conversion content for sales, marketing and HR

→  Executive headshots – professional, consistent, globally benchmarked for leadership teams

→  CSR & social impact films – for annual reports, investor decks and stakeholder comms

→  Lab explainer videos (live action) – pharma and biotech brands choosing authentic over animated

→  Motion graphic openers & concept films – the 90 seconds that set the tone for your entire conference

→  Industrial & factory walkthroughs – precision documentation of facilities, process and scale

→  School & institutional documentaries – legacy films for anniversaries, admissions and culture

→  Leadership interview & thought leadership videos – for CXOs, founders and public sector leaders

Why India's Best Brands Trust Us With Their Most Critical Moments

This is the question that matters most to any new client. Here’s the honest answer.

→  14+ years of real corporate experience. Founded in 2012, we have spent over a decade working exclusively in the corporate world. We know what can go wrong at high-stakes events – and we’ve built airtight systems to prevent it. Detailed confirmation processes, clear delivery timelines, robust data management and multi-layer storage backups. Your content is never at risk.

→  State-of-the-art equipment – owned, not rented. We invest continuously in the best-in-class cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, editing suites and archiving infrastructure. Every assignment gets the full arsenal. No gear compromises, no last-minute scrambles.

→  Creativity with a technological mindset. We don’t just point and shoot. We approach every brief with a rare blend of creative vision and technical precision – from how we plan and light a shoot to how we edit, colour grade, store and deliver. The output looks the way it does because the thinking behind it is rigorous.

→  Authentic visual storytelling that connects. We create visuals that resonate – with your customers, your employees, your investors and the market at large. Our work is built around niche, authentic brand storytelling that gives each client a distinct visual identity. Not a template. Not generic. Yours.

→  Corporate work ethic is in our DNA. Our team comes from strong academic and professional backgrounds rooted in the corporate world. We understand how large organisations, government bodies and financial institutions work – the approval hierarchies, brand guidelines, media protocols, the pace and the stakes. We slot seamlessly into your ecosystem without needing to be managed.

→  Professionalism without exception. A Samsung product launch is not a neighbourhood business event. An IAF or NSG assignment is not a corporate offsite. A Barclays investor conference is not a startup meetup. We bring the seriousness, discretion and precision that the most demanding briefs require – every single time.

→  In-house team. No freelancer patchwork. Creative directors, editors, script writers, animators, photographers, videographers – all full-time, all experienced. One accountable team from brief to delivery.

→  GST-compliant. Clean process. You receive GST invoices for all payments. Our work process is documented, transparent and built for corporate procurement requirements.

→  We travel. Based in Mumbai and Gurugram, we cover all of India. And we go international – wherever the assignment demands.

When Samsung, HUL, Barclays, Salesforce, NSG and Kedaara Capital trust the same agency with their most important moments – that trust has been built over years, one exceptional delivery at a time. We are India’s trusted corporate photography agency for brands that cannot afford to get it wrong.

Let's Work Together

If you’re planning a product launch, MICE event, annual conference, employer branding campaign, CSR film, government initiative or any project that deserves to be documented at the highest level – we’d love to hear from you.

We are a trusted corporate photography agency India – built for brands, institutions and organisations that understand the value of getting the visual story right.
