SREERAM RAMANATHAN
CO-FOUNDER/ CREATIVE PRODUCER
Passion and love for media is what has driven his career choices over the years. From advertising, editing, producing
and directing across all formats and platforms to more recently… aerial cinematography! He setup one of the
first Data Management and Workflow Consultancies in the country , Sreeram is deeply invested in content creation and verticals like VR, AR and MR. His foresight and keen interest in R&D give him an
edge over his peers. Given a choice
he’d want everything in 32K.
Though he is a Creative Producer,
he loves the occasional binge edit.
He's also an avid biker, future documentary film-maker and tech guru. He’s also a
lover of coffee, vegetarian by choice, occasionally philosophical and listens
to podcasts while driving.
ASHISH HEBLEKAR
CEO/ POST SUPERVISOR
One more of the kind who quit engineering to do what he does now. He was supposed to go to the US to study AI and Robotics, but we’re glad this guy landed up right here. He’s the biker who will walk into the office in
slow motion, prop his helmet up on the table and the first words he will always utter be "Jeetu ek coffee please”.
Every single day.
Apart from the fact that this techie needs caffeine refuelling every couple
of hours Ashish is the go-to person at Coolab. Head of operations and our CEO, he is always a step ahead and ready to troubleshoot, and is always excited about a new update. Ashish is also the kind who will recommend the nicest music, after all he has been a part of the Indie music scene, touring with musical legends - yes, he feels right at home in an OB Van.
SUMEET KAMATH
CO-FOUNDER/ EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
He’s our Head of Business and Strategy and has way more feathers than any cap can handle and more gadgets than a normal person would like to possess.
With over two decades of experience of spearheading marketing and promoting his various businesses, he’s worked with some of the best production and media houses before starting his own. He’s cool, collected and righteous, super fun, suffers from OCD, making sure every drive, pen and keyboard is absolutely straight on every table.
This multi-lingual, multi-tasking machine will play technical consultant, data saviour, network manager and more with the same level of dedication and professionalism.
ANUJA THAKAR
OFFLINE EDITOR
Open to new ideas and ready with a handful for every project, Anuja is our in-house Editing Ninja. Always in stealth mode, you’ll never hear her come in & almost never see her leave. She’s a silent killer. If there’s a series on Netflix or Amazon she’s probably already seen every episode of every season.
An Avid fan of marvel, she knows everything about that Universe and the legends within. A word of caution, this warrior’s weapon of choice is Premiere Pro CC.
DILSHAD NANJI
COLOURIST
She’ll greet you with a warm smile and hug but the minute you even accidentally stretch your hands to place your cup of coffee on the grading table, the halo and wings will quickly disappear. Hell hath no fury like this woman protective of her equipment!
She sings all the while scanning your footage with the eyes of a hawk. When she’s not grading, she’ll be wiping every fingerprint off every screen.
SIDDHARTH SATHE
POST ASSISTANT
Even before turning 25, Siddharth dabbled in editing, BTS stills and videos and has worked as a dubbing assistant too.
He has since found his calling in the art of color grading, and we're so excited to have him on board.
Some of our clients don't know what he sounds like because he's that quiet. Every once in a while he comes up with these one-liners that just crack us up!
Welcome to the team, Sid!
MICHAEL ARRAKAL
HEAD OF OPERATIONS
Senior Animator to Visual Effects Supervisor, Chief AD to Creative Consultant, Editor to Executive Producer, our Head of Operations at Coolab is a gentleman who has fulfilled many roles. After having conquered every aspect of Pre - Prod and Post, this lover of a good book, great music and classic films now runs the show here at Coolab. Working tirelessly behind the scenes with a great team to make sure that nothing is out of place and that service is always client centric. When things gets crazy as they often do in Post, he stays zen... leaning on his love for food and cooking up a storm.
PRIYADARSHI VERMA
CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER
Fun & Organisation don’t usually go hand-in-hand, but when Mr. Priyadarshi Verma is around, you get a lot of both! His decades of experience in Strategic Planning, Analysis, Systems Design & Architecture and Setting up Production Pipeline & Processes for the Media & Entertainment Industry is clear from his salt n pepper look and the wisdom in his eyes.
Calm under pressure, a total foodie at heart, Lover of Music and Photography and former owner of a Jalebi shop too (is there nothing he hasn’t done!), Our Chief Technology Officer (Also Chief Sweet Officer) sure knows how to get the job done!
