Start by reaching out through our contact page or emailing us at hello@araaiproduction.in with a brief description of your project — what you need, your timeline, and your budget if known.

We'll align on your brief, creative scope, and technical requirements before work begins. Your project is secured only once cleared funds are received, and production dates remain open to other clients until the primary payment is confirmed.

We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance for standard shoots, and 4–6 weeks for larger productions such as brand films, campaigns, or multi-day shoots.

Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability — do reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Having a clear brief makes all the difference. Useful things to prepare: a mood board or visual references, the key message or story you want to tell, a list of required shots or scenes, any brand guidelines (logo, colour palette, typography), and a shot list or script if applicable.

Don't worry if you're starting from scratch — our pre-production team is experienced in helping clients develop their creative direction.

All creative and technical specifications are expected to be finalised and signed off before work starts. Once production is underway, any changes beyond the agreed scope are treated as additional work.

Each package includes a defined number of revision cycles, and any extra tweaks beyond scope are billed at our standard hourly creative rate.

Every project is unique, and so is our pricing. We consider factors such as shoot duration, crew requirements, equipment needed, locations, post-production complexity, and number of final deliverables.

After our discovery call, we'll provide a detailed, transparent quote with a full breakdown. There are no hidden charges — what you see in the quote is what you pay, unless scope changes are agreed upon in writing.

Standalone projects require 100% upfront payment so we can allocate resources and begin execution without delay. For larger productions, we work against a pre-defined installment schedule.

All payments are strictly non-refundable. This includes every installment paid toward a project once booking and resource allocation have begun.

No. All payments made to Araai Production are strictly non-refundable because we allocate dedicated high-end resources, talent, and studio time immediately upon booking.

This policy applies to standalone projects and milestone-based engagements alike.

Yes. For brands needing consistent content — monthly social media shoots, quarterly brand films, or ongoing product photography — we offer retainer arrangements at preferential rates with priority scheduling and a dedicated point of contact.

Retainer fees are non-refundable once committed. Get in touch to discuss your needs.

Delivery timelines depend directly on client responsiveness, especially for approvals, feedback, and asset sharing. Final schedules are shaped by how quickly these dependencies are resolved during the project lifecycle.

Specific dates and work cycles are confirmed as part of the agreed production schedule.

Final deliverables are shared in industry-standard formats appropriate to the agreed scope of work.

Raw production files remain the property of Araai Production unless they are explicitly purchased as part of your agreement.

Each package includes a defined number of revision cycles. Any additional tweaks beyond the agreed scope are billed at our standard hourly creative rate.

Both. We are equally at home in a controlled studio environment and on location. Location fees, travel, and any necessary permits are itemised in your quote. We handle location scouting and logistics — you focus on your vision.

Absolutely. We have worked across Gujarat and across India. Travel, accommodation, and logistics for outstation shoots are factored into the project quote.
