Sixteenth Studios — an Indian film & creative studio, from the first idea to the final frame.
When a story comes our way, it finds a home,
a team, and everything it takes to reach the screen.
We develop. We produce. We service. We deliver. And we stay, from the first idea
to the final frame. For stories coming to India, we're your crew on the ground — from first estimate to final delivery.
WHO
A full-spectrum film and creative studio built by two creatives who've run the floor on some of the most ambitious films, series, and campaigns.
The name comes from 16th Road, where we're based, where creative ambition meets execution and memorable stories get made: films, commercials, music videos, branded stories, documentaries, and anything that sparks y(our) curiosity.
WHAT
We sweat the details, respect the budget and believe the best work is born on a happy set.
No two stories are made the same way. Each gets its own approach and every one the same commitment. Our offerings grow as the work does, alongside brands and filmmakers who like to think ahead: from the experimental to the classic, the ambitious to the simple.

Probir Sabnis
PRODUCER & CO‑FOUNDER
10+ years of budgets, deadlines and zero missed celebrations
Probir has worked every rung of the production ladder: from Creative Producer on Sacred Games S2 and Executive Producer on Two Sinners (Filmfare and Critics' Choice nominee) to Production Controller on Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par and 2nd AD on Anurag Kashyap's films. In between: The Archies, Jubilee and campaigns for Spotify and CRED. Tight budgets, sharp negotiations, end-to-end control.
A true-blue Goan, he takes his king fish thaali (and uraak) as seriously as his deadlines.
Probir’s signature: a tight set, a happy crew and celebrations that follow on their own.
Prerana Poddar
PRODUCER & CO‑FOUNDER
8+ years of schedules, last-minute changes and zero missed naps
Prerana has built her 8+ years across both sides of the camera: direction-track experience on Dhurandhar, The Archies and Made in Heaven S2 and helping produce for Dior, Estée Lauder and M·A·C Cosmetics, to name a few. She's run productions across borders, handled high-profile talent and keeps a set running like nothing's wrong, especially when everything is.
Kolkata-born, she takes her art seriously, her coffee stronger and will quietly Marie Kondo any room she's in. On set, that's just producing.
Prerana handles the chaos so the story never feels it — almost always with a smile.
