What SQUARE VFX PVT LTD does

Square VFX is a privately held visual effects studio incorporated in India as SQUAREVFX PVT. LTD. and founded in 2019 in Kochi, Kerala. The company delivers end-to-end VFX production across three service streams — feature films, episodic/streaming content, and advertising campaigns — serving global film studios, streaming platforms, advertising agencies, and premium brands through project-based, fixed-price contracts. It operates from four offices spanning India (Bangalore and Kochi), the UAE (Dubai, Media City Free Zone), and Europe (Ljubljana, Slovenia), enabling multi-timezone, 24/7 production coverage and positioning the studio as a 'global production hub.'

Its production capability combines traditional digital artistry with AI-augmented workflows branded as 'AI Fusion,' supported by a dedicated R&D team, an integrated end-to-end global production pipeline, and TPN Gold Shield Certification from the Trusted Partner Network for content security. Core technical leadership includes a Founder/Creative Director, CEO, Executive Producer, VFX Supervisor, 2D Supervisor, and Roto-Prep Supervisor, reflecting an artist-led craft structure rather than a software-first organization.

The business model is professional services revenue on a per-project basis, with pricing determined by scope, complexity, and deliverables rather than standardized tiers. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales via direct client relationships, a portfolio website, LinkedIn presence, and industry-event networking. The company is founder-led (Sabeed Rahiman, Lasna, Adih Lijas) with no disclosed institutional investors, venture capital, or private equity backing, and revenue and funding figures are not publicly disclosed.
