In today’s fast-moving digital world, capturing attention is harder than ever. Yet, Design Jockeys, a Mumbai-based creative studio founded in 2013 by Navid Irani and Nidhi Shah, has made it its mission to do just that—craft videos that don’t just communicate, but connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.
From the very beginning, the founders shared a vision: to bridge the gap between creativity and strategy. While many brands struggle to express their ideas clearly, Design Jockeys turns complex concepts into engaging narratives through explainer videos, corporate films, brand stories, and live event content. Every project is approached with the goal of making communication simple, compelling, and memorable.
The journey was far from easy. Like most entrepreneurs, Navid and Nidhi faced unpredictable work, tight budgets, and the challenge of building credibility from scratch. But these early struggles became lessons in resilience, discipline, and teamwork. They learned that empathy for clients, attention to detail, and a relentless focus on quality are just as important as creativity itself.
Design Jockeys sets itself apart with its end-to-end approach—from scripting and storyboarding to final editing, every step is handled in-house, ensuring that the vision is executed with precision. The team’s ability to listen, interpret, and visually translate ideas allows them to create content that not only looks stunning but also drives results.
The studio’s dedication has earned it national recognition, including the Bharat Udyog Ratna Award and the National Icon Award for Best Explainer and Corporate Video Production in India—a testament to the impact and quality of their work.
Looking forward, Design Jockeys is embracing the next frontier in visual storytelling. With video content continuing to dominate social and digital platforms, the studio is exploring interactive video, branded content, and global collaborations, ensuring its work stays innovative, relevant, and influential.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, Navid and Nidhi offer simple yet powerful advice: “Start small, stay consistent, and always value your craft and your clients. Progress is built one story at a time.”
Today, Design Jockeys is more than a video production studio—it’s a creative partner for brands that want to be seen, heard, and remembered. Every project is an opportunity to transform ideas into moving, impactful stories that resonate with audiences long after the screen goes dark.
