Pranava Studios

What Pranava Studios does

Pranava Studios is an independent audio recording studio founded in 2005 in Bangalore, India, operating from a single 700 sq ft facility in Rajajinagar equipped with two control rooms and two acoustically treated recording booths. The studio delivers an end-to-end portfolio of professional audio services covering audio recording, mixing, mastering, music production, voice-overs in multiple languages, jingles, advertisements, e-learning content, audio books, and sound effects. Its technology stack is built around Steinberg Cubase Pro and Universal Audio Apollo interfaces, paired with Neumann, AKG, and Rode microphones and Genelec, Adam, and Yamaha monitors, supported by a 3KVA UPS providing approximately 5 hours of uninterrupted power for reliable session continuity.

The business serves a heterogeneous mix of clients including individual musicians and voice artists (e.g., Aabha Hanjura, Adithya Srinivasan), regional Kannada film production houses such as Lighter Buddha Films and Coastal Breeze Productions, music labels led by Anand Audio Video, and enterprise customers across real estate (Prestige Group), e-commerce (IndiaMART), consumer goods (KSDL), education (Vyoma Linguistic Labs, Akshara Foundation), and US-based technology firms (Good World Solutions). Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: clients book sessions via phone, contact form, or referrals, with pricing provided on a quote basis per session or project.

The studio operates a partner network of seven reciprocal studios across India (including X-Noise in Guwahati, Lagori and Format in Bangalore, and 20db in Chennai) for overflow capacity and cross-region recording, and maintains an online voice artist sample upload portal as a low-cost talent acquisition channel. The studio is privately held, founder-operated, bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding or institutional shareholders, and currently employs approximately 7 engineers and musicians.
