Creative Head

Crown Processor , Crown cine service

Feb 1995 – Mar 2005 Mumbai India with a gap of Eight Month ( Six Month Tenure in NTV7 as a set Design Consultant)

Reason of leaving the Job… Establishment close down

I joined Crown Processors and their subsidiary company Crown Cine Service when they were just setting up Crown Studio having in-house Shooting Floors , Facilities and Production House for Feature Films, Tele films, Tele Series, Dramas, and Albums and I was Involved in Setting up the Studio floors a total of 6 studio floor of a size of 2 floors of 16000sq feet, 2 floors of 6000sq feet respectively, Ready Locations of Corporate Office , 4 star Hospital location and Exterior and Interiors of Police Station .

In the November 1994, I visited the place it was all filled with old clothes mill junk, Looms Machine foundations, even a portion of the building still running with Fabric processing unit making lots of sound and Vibration in the building For me or any other person it was nearly impossible to get it turn into a studios but I took the challenge and we decided to use the junk and started with selling the Junk not throwing away , whatever Money we get from selling the Junks we used it making the infrastructures like Makeup rooms, common toilets and washrooms for Crew and making it shooting friendly and above all making it soundproof, it took me and My small team about six months to get it ready.

I started marketing our studios by calling the production houses, sending postcards, letters, Pamphlets and meeting EPs Personally , why Personally just I think when you meet a person Personally you can convince him more and by the way watching his or her reaction or expressions during the conversation you can negotiate your deal better.

Yes we got lucky and one my friend Production designer help me in getting my first client a big commercial film Director to shoot in my studio he booked my studio for 4 days initially but during shooting of these Four days he gave a advance cheque which entitled him for a Fifteen days booking flat for next every month.

Now we started looking for booking of our big floor a 12000 sq feet area and we managed it also .

In our first year of studio’s business we managed to get 10 million Rupee business that a huge amount for a startup at that time seeing this people who were interested in this business keep meeting me and offering me to join their company to start and market there studio as well which I declined.

For me the best compliment came when the management of Government run studio Filmcity ask me to help them to streamline their studios charges and billing Which I did..

During the establishment of studio I managed construction, Marketing and management of the studio on day to day operations I was looking of hiring the technicians ,purchasing the Required Equipment’s for the Studio, Coordinating with Interior Designing Team, Supervising Shoots and co-ordinate with every in-house Departments Like… Set designer Team, Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing, Air conditioning, Masonry, Ceiling etc. and to make their Daily Progress Report, Material in Stock … while working with Crown cine service I was looking after in-house Studio Floors and In-house Production Facilities for films, Tele films, Tele Series, Dramas, and Albums dealing with different Problem of different Technicians solving their glitches keeping tab on Budget and Quality of In house Projects, Managing the Studio with other project like Branding, Direct Marketing as well as Tele Marketing of Crown Processors .

I was involved from planning to execution and Business management getting clients production houses to shoot .
