Andheri West · Locations

We build project, budget and payment software for Andheri West film, post-production and agency firms.

Andheri West works in shoots and deliveries, from the production houses around Veera Desai Road to the agencies and boutiques at Lokhandwala, on budget sheets and WhatsApp groups. GullySystem builds the project, budget and billing software these firms need, working from Bengaluru, beginning with a free technology audit.

At a glance

Andheri West is where a good deal of Indian film and television actually gets made. Production offices, post-production rooms, sound studios, casting agents and equipment rental firms sit within a few lanes of each other.

The money side is far less organised than the craft. A project runs on a budget sheet, an advance handed to a line producer and bills that arrive weeks after the shoot. By the time the accounts close, the team is already on the next job.

Around Andheri West

Where the businesses are in Andheri West, and what they run on.

Veera Desai Road and the Link Road side

Post-production studios, sound and colour rooms, and equipment rental firms. Suites are booked by the hour and by the day over phone calls, and the bookings clash.

Aram Nagar

Production houses, casting offices and small studios in converted cottages. Each project lives in a folder of scripts, call sheets and crew contacts held by one coordinator.

Lokhandwala Complex

Boutiques, salons, cafes and gyms serving the people who work in the industry. Memberships and packages are tracked on cards at the counter.

Four Bungalows and Seven Bungalows

Agencies, small offices and clinics, with restaurants along the main roads. Work is quoted per job and invoiced weeks after delivery.

SV Road and JP Road

Retail, furnishing shops and appliance dealers serving the wider suburb, selling on exchange offers and instalments.

How software gets chosen

How Andheri West businesses pick and use software.

Nobody here has the patience for a long implementation. The producer or studio owner wants something working before the next project starts, and judges it on whether the coordinator uses it without being told twice.

Most already pay for a scheduling tool and a cloud drive. They want budgets, crew payments and client approvals tied to the same project, not another app for the team to ignore.

We work from Bengaluru, which suits an industry already used to working across cities. Calls, screen-shares and WhatsApp cover the build, and we travel for go-live or a session with the production team.

Where it breaks

Where Andheri West businesses lose time and money.

The project overran and we found out at the wrap

Budget lines sit in a spreadsheet updated when someone remembers, while advances go out every day. Recording each advance and bill against the project shows the overrun while the shoot is still running.

Crew payments take a month of phone calls

Day rates, overtime and conveyance are agreed verbally with dozens of freelancers. A crew sheet per shoot day, confirmed on a phone, becomes the payment list at the end.

Studio suites get double-booked

A suite is held on one phone call and released on another. One booking screen covering every suite and machine stops the clash and shows the idle hours.

Client feedback arrives in six WhatsApp groups

Notes on a cut come from different people at different times, and the editor works from the last message he saw. Comments held against a version, in one place, keep the wrong cut from going out.

Common questions

Questions Andheri West owners ask before they call.

Can freelancers use it without us buying them logins?

Yes. Crew and vendors get a link on WhatsApp to confirm their day, their rate and their bill, with no login to remember. Only your own team works inside the system, so the cost does not grow with the crew size.

Our accounts are with an outside CA. How does he fit in?

He keeps the books. Advances, bills and payments recorded against a project are passed to Tally in the form he expects, so he stops chasing you for vouchers. The project view that producers want stays on our side.

What happens in the free technology audit?

We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
