Netflix has opened a visual effects and innovation studio in India.
Based in Hyderabad, Eyeline Studios spans 32,000ft2 and features technology for advanced visual effects and generative virtual effects, supported by a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Eyeline is Netflix’s global VFX studio. After buying Scanline VFX in 2021, the streamer merged Scanline with Eyeline in October 2025 into one Eyeline brand.
The Hyderabad facility is the fifth global location for Eyeline, building on the network established in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seoul, and London.
Netflix said the launch aligns with its global strategy to expand its production innovation infrastructure and positions India as a core node in global production pipelines, embedding advanced visual effects, virtual production, and next-generation production technology.
The opening event was led by: Jeff Shapiro, CEO of Eyeline Studios; Shri Anumula Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana; Shri Sanjay Jaju, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Secretary; and Indian Actor and Film Producer Rana Daggubati.
Jeff Shapiro, CEO of Eyeline Studios, said: “India has long played a defining role in global visual effects, not just because of scale, but because of the depth of creative and technical talent here. 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. 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.”
Netflix recently withdrew from the race to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, leaving the way clear for Paramount Skydance to win the months-long battle for the historic Hollywood studio. Discover more here.
