About Polycrayons · Est. 2015

Eleven years,725+ projects,one studio.

A Mumbai-based visual design studio founded in 2015 to help architects and developers translate drawings into moments — the moment a client says yes, the moment a campaign lands, the moment concrete starts to feel like home.

Just like a picture is worth a thousand words, we believe a visual idea is worth a million imaginations. It's not a slogan — it's the whole job description.

The Team

01 — Founder's Note

In 2015, architectural visualisation in India meant dark interiors, over-saturated skies, and buildings dropped onto stock grass. The work was technical, busy, and emotionally mute. You could tell it was a render before your eyes registered the building.

We started Polycrayons to make the other kind — images that sit comfortably in an architectural magazine, films that feel scored not synthesised. Quieter work. More honest work.

Eleven years and a small, senior team later, that's still the entire brief. Every new project gets the same question before the first line is drawn: what should the client feel first?

If you're building something you're proud of, we'd love to help you show it.

02 — Studio Timeline

Eleven years,
told briefly.

2015

Studio founded in Borivali.

Started as a three-person team working out of a shared studio space above a stationery shop. First retainer was for a single 2BHK interior — rendered four ways.

2017

First high-rise handed off at scale.

A developer partner brought us a 42-storey tower. We delivered 22 exterior frames across three moods. The project still anchors our capability pitch nearly a decade later.

Moved into animation properly.

Hired a dedicated animation director. Our first 90-second walkthrough for Sheth Developers ran on broadcast during the launch week. The studio's shape shifted permanently after that.

03 — How we work

Three things
we won't compromise.

Value · 01

A senior-only pipeline.

Every brief passes through a discipline lead before reaching a junior. You'll never ship to a client under your own name before it's been held to the same standard as our founder's work.

Value · 02

Real ownership, fast.

Our studio is lean by design. Juniors get their own slate inside 12 months. Seniors run client relationships directly — no intermediaries, no meetings about meetings.

Value · 03

Work you'd actually show.

Our portfolio is public. Anything you ship here goes on your reel, keeps your attribution, and builds your career portfolio for the next studio after us (if there is one).

Trusted by industry titans.
