Jeff Shapiro, CEO, Eyeline Studios
Eyeing a growing opportunity in the Indian animation, visual effects, gaming and comics (AVGC) industry in India, entertainment major Netflix has launched Eyeline Studios, its global production and innovation studio, here on Thursday.
Inaugurating the facility, Telangana Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, said that Netflix’s arrival signals Hollywood’s presence in Hyderabad, which has a robust film production ecosystem.
“Eyeline’s presence will further strengthen Hyderabad’s position as a leading hub for film, technology and the AVGC sector,” he said.
The 32,000-sq-ft facility houses technology infrastructure for advanced visual effects and generative virtual effects, all supported by a hybrid cloud backbone.
The Hyderabad facility is Eyeline’s fifth global location, after Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seoul and London. Designed as a fully-integrated part of Eyeline’s global network, the studio will contribute to high-end visual storytelling worldwide.
Ideal location
Jeff Shapiro, CEO of Eyeline Studios, said that India had long played a defining role in global visual effects, not just because of its scale but because of the depth of its creative and technical talent.
“When we looked at where to establish our presence, Hyderabad stood out immediately. It brings together a strong technology backbone, world-class engineering capability and a film culture that understands ambition,” he said.
“The talent in this city and across India combines artistic craft with impeccable technical precision. That’s exactly the foundation we need to build long-term capability and contribute meaningfully to global storytelling from here,” he said.
“Hyderabad has a long history in AVGC. Most major Hollywood studios already have small offices in Hyderabad. Pan-India films are being made out of Hyderabad,” Sanjay Jaju, Union Secretary, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, said.
