Creative AI Production Studio

Founded in 2010 by writer-director and FTII alumnus Gourav Ghosh, Sixteen By Nine (SBN) Media is a Mumbai-based film, video and post-production studio focused on filmmaker-led generative AI production. The company combines established cinematic craft with generative tools to create commercial, corporate and narrative screen content.

Its work spans AI-powered brand films and digital commercials, corporate and industrial storytelling, product and e-commerce video, short-form micro-dramas, multilingual dubbing and voiceover, post-production, VFX, motion graphics, and original fiction for streaming-oriented formats. The studio also develops AI-enhanced sci-fi, comedy-horror and historical-fiction concepts.

Filmmaker-led AI production

SBN Media applies AI throughout scripting, storyboarding, pre-visualization, visual effects and localization while retaining filmmaking principles such as lighting, pacing, camera choreography and screen direction. Its proprietary Source of Truth protocol is designed to anchor characters and locations, helping maintain visual continuity across multi-scene narratives.

The studio’s production model serves brands seeking high-volume commercial and digital content alongside more technically detailed industrial, manufacturing and process-led films. It also supports multilingual campaigns through neural voice synthesis and dubbing.

Commercial and narrative work

SBN Media has worked across renewable energy, manufacturing, FMCG, BFSI, fashion, retail, real estate, healthcare and digital entertainment. Reported commercial clients include Meesho, Reliance Smart Bazaar, Waaree Energies, BirlaNu, Harpic Flushmatic, OneAssist, Zydus and MSD.

Alongside client production, the studio has credited narrative projects including Ganesha — The Time Traveller, Nakaar, Garbage Island, Jokkad, Dhoop Chaav and Satta King. Its current operation is centralized in Mumbai following earlier training and production activity in Pune under the Sixteen By Nine Media Centre name.
