EntSun News/10951518
MUMBAI, India - EntSun -- FOLKS, a Fuse Group visual effects company, is opening an over 35,000-square-foot studio in Mumbai, India, expanding its global footprint.
The new studio is scheduled to open by the beginning of Q4 2022 and aims to staff more than 250 employees in Mumbai's Raiaskaran TechPark, a state-of-the-art, sustainable office space. There are over 200 new employees ready to start when the studio opens. Griboshin 'Grib' Vellanthrov Chandran will join as Head of Studio, Mumbai. Grib has previously held leadership positions at ReDefine, Legend3D, PSYOP, Technicolor, Reliance, Prana Studios and PrimeFocus.
"We're very excited about opening a fifth FOLKS studio location. Mumbai is rich with great artists and will allow us to continue to build our client offerings. Griboshin and his two decades of work in the industry have put him at the forefront of the Indian VFX industry. Grib's experience in identifying talent, building scale, and ensuring sustainability will position us to be a leader in India for years to come," said Amélie Poitras, President of FOLKS.
