Find award-winning crews for your Mumbai video production
Finding a location for your corporate video production is an important part of the process: Choosing the right place to film grants you easy access to gear, varied B-roll locations, and the ability to work with film-friendly local government agencies.
When you’re seeking a viable filming location on the Indian subcontinent, Mumbai is a natural first choice. This city has staked its place in the worldwide feature film sphere. Not only is the globally popular Hindi-language film industry known as Bollywood largely based in Mumbai, the metropolis is also a major center of Marathi-language productions, as well as smaller, more grounded productions in multiple languages and dialects.
Launching an ambitious corporate video production in Mumbai is easier than doing it elsewhere, considering the city’s established film infrastructure. Useful destinations include large-scale complexes designed to serve as film sets, as well as studios and post production facilities. With an expert video crew on your side, you can elevate your corporate video game in Mumbai.
Filming a Mumbai corporate video with expert assistance
Why work with a crew of experts when filming a corporate video? Today’s audiences, both internal and external, have become used to high-quality video content. That means you need to reach a high standard to impress viewers. Building out such a film team in house involves adding salaries and spending on equipment, while working with Crews Control enables you to add expertise on demand, specifically coming from professionals who know their cities.
Mumbai, a city of over 3 million residents, is known as India’s “city that never sleeps.” With the city sprawling over 100 square miles and serving as home to massive festivals and celebrations honoring multiple cultures, it’s simply a good idea to travel with locally versed crew members who can help you get around effectively.
When you hire one of our expert teams in Mumbai, you’ll be paired with professionals who know how to find the best locations and studios and can help you navigate permitting and visa systems. Especially if your organization is based outside of India, it pays to have plugged-in experts ready to walk you through processes such as applying for permission to shoot drone footage, or telling the difference between feature film and commercial production permits.

Things to know about filming in Mumbai
What does it take to launch an effective Mumbai video production? You and your expert crew should be prepared to comply with permitting rules and visa laws and make ideal usage of the network of studios, soundstages and other film infrastructure throughout the area. Some useful considerations when engaging in commercial video production in Mumbai include:
- Corporate productions have their own film permit system: The standard filming permit for feature films and TV shows in Mumbai, and India in general, is separate from the one for promotional filmmaking. Commercials and other corporate content use the same form as documentaries.
- Studio facilities are massive and well-equipped: Mumbai’s status as a filmmaking hub means it is home to facilities that could be useful for your production. This includes Film City Mumbai, a complex that consists of 16 studios and 40 outdoor filming locales and has hosted 1,600 productions since 1977.
- Aerial footage requires its own application: As in many jurisdictions around the world, filming aerial drone footage in Mumbai requires a separate type of permit from conventional filming. Following the rules is essential if you want to capture aerial B-roll that will show off the Mumbai location to its fullest extent.
- Be ready for a tropical climate: Due to its location close to the equator, Mumbai doesn’t experience discrete cold winters and warm summers — the city tends to be very warm year-round. If you’re planning on shooting outdoor footage, it can pay to avoid the rainy season, which peaks in July. Every July, an average of 26.2 inches of rain falls in the area.
With an expert video crew on your side, your business can find success creating content in and around Mumbai, turning this film-friendly metropolis into your corporate video base of operations.

Prepared, Creative, Professional and on the 10 scale an 11
I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
