Nube Studio

What Nube Studio does

Nube Studio is a Mumbai-headquartered, privately held post-production services company founded in 2015 by veteran colorist Navin Shetty. The studio specializes in high-end color grading, CG/visual effects, and online finishing/mastering for television commercials, feature films, web series, and music videos. Operations are delivered through three dedicated facilities in Mumbai and structured across three branded units: the core Nube Studio (color grading and finishing, powered by Autodesk Flame), Ventana Studios (CG/VFX for commercials, with pre-production pipeline setup), and Nube Cirrus (long-form content including OTT series). Nube also holds a joint venture interest in Fundamental Pictures, a film production company co-founded with director Shlok Sharma that has produced Hindi films including ZOO and CARGO in collaboration with Anurag Kashyap.

The business operates as a B22B professional services firm, acquiring clients through direct relationships with directors, cinematographers, advertising agencies, production houses, and broadcasters. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based engagements with non-public pricing that varies by scope, complexity, and duration. The studio's competitive positioning rests on an internationally recruited colorist bench — including talent from Turkey (Metin Okutay, Venice Film Festival), Egypt (Hany Halim Ahmed), and senior Indian colorists — alongside a portfolio of more than 6,000 TV commercials delivered over the past decade and marquee Bollywood and OTT credits (Omkara, Dabangg, Fashion, Aarya, Ray, Kota Factory, Mumbai Saga, Netflix). The customer base spans 30+ named enterprise brands across automotive, FMCG, beauty, streaming, banking, insurance, and telecom.

The company has 47 employees, no external institutional funding, and is controlled by founder Navin Shetty with Samitha Shetty as Managing Partner and Sandesh Shetty as Senior Producer. Marketing is portfolio- and relationship-driven rather than digital, with presence via a website portfolio, newsletter, and organic social channels. The company is operationally active and India-domiciled with no evidence of geographic expansion beyond a single country market despite its internationally sourced talent.
