Netflix has opened a new global visual effects facility, Eyeline Studios, in Hyderabad, marking a major step in the company’s plans to expand its production and technology capabilities in India.
The studio will focus on visual effects, virtual production and post-production work for Netflix films and series produced for audiences around the world. By setting up the new facility in Hyderabad, Netflix aims to tap into India’s growing pool of creative and technical talent in the digital production sector.
The Hyderabad unit becomes the fifth global location for Eyeline Studios, joining existing facilities in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Seoul and London. The expansion highlights the increasing role India is playing in the global entertainment technology industry.
Located in the city’s technology hub, the new studio covers about 32,000 square feet and is expected to employ nearly 300 professionals by 2026. Artists, engineers and creative professionals working there will help design visual effects and develop tools used to create large-scale cinematic scenes for global productions.
The launch event was attended by A. Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana, along with several Netflix executives and members of the film industry. Reddy said the new facility reflects Hyderabad’s growing reputation as a centre for innovation, technology and creative industries. He also invited Netflix to consider setting up its India headquarters in the state’s proposed “Future City” project.
Actor and producer Rana Daggubati, who attended the event, said the opening of Eyeline Studios is an important moment for India’s entertainment industry. He noted that the country’s animation, visual effects, gaming and comics sector is rapidly gaining global recognition.
Netflix officials said the studio will strengthen the company’s global production network while creating new opportunities for Indian artists and technicians to work on international projects.
