Bangalore’s reputation as India’s technology and gaming-engine capital sometimes overshadows a real, distinct film and TV VFX presence — global majors including DNEG and MPC both operate Bangalore studios alongside homegrown players like Xentrix Studios. This directory lists verified VFX companies with a Bangalore presence, sourced from Vitrina’s entertainment company database and public studio records. For the national picture, see our top VFX companies in India directory, which also covers Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kerala.
- 1Bangalore hosts local sites of global majors DNEG and MPC, plus homegrown studio Xentrix Studios — a mix not widely known outside the industry.
- 2India’s animation and VFX segment is projected to reach $2.2 billion by 2026, up from $1.3 billion in 2023 (IBEF / CII-GT, 2024) — though no Bangalore-specific market figure is publicly available.
- 3Nationally, the VFX segment declined 14% in 2024 amid a broader animation/post-production slowdown (FICCI-EY, 2025) — useful context when evaluating studio stability.
- 4Bangalore’s core strength is real-time rendering and gaming-engine talent, drawing on the city’s technology sector — a different profile from Mumbai’s Bollywood-adjacent scale or Chennai’s OTT-series pipeline.
The leading VFX operators in Bangalore include DNEG (global feature-VFX major, Bangalore studio at ITPL Whitefield), MPC (Moving Picture Company, Bangalore operations), and Xentrix Studios (Bangalore-founded, 2010, TV animation and gaming VFX). Vitrina indexes verified Bangalore VFX studios with direct contacts and service specialisations.
Why Bangalore Is More Than a Gaming-Hub Story
Bangalore’s reputation runs toward real-time rendering, gaming engines, and technology-sector talent — and that reputation is earned. But the city also hosts real, credited film and TV VFX operations: both DNEG and MPC, two of the world’s largest VFX houses, run Bangalore studios alongside their better-known Mumbai and Chennai operations. Bangalore-founded Xentrix Studios, incorporated in 2010, has built a specific niche in TV animation and gaming VFX rather than competing directly on feature-film blockbuster work. This is a genuinely different profile from Mumbai’s Bollywood-adjacent scale or Chennai’s OTT-series pipeline — Bangalore’s edge is technical talent depth, not volume.
Key Stat
India’s animation and VFX segment is projected to grow from $1.3 billion (2023) to $2.2 billion by 2026 (IBEF / CII-GT, 2024). Set against that, the FICCI-EY 2025 report found the segment’s overall 2024 revenue actually fell to ₹103 billion, a 9% decline, with VFX specifically down 14% (FICCI-EY, 2025) — a reminder that headline growth projections and near-term performance can diverge, and worth factoring into any studio’s financial-stability assessment. Neither report breaks out Bangalore specifically.

How to Choose a VFX Partner in Bangalore
Bangalore studios split into two distinct categories: local sites of global majors (DNEG, MPC), which offer access to established international pipelines and award-winning technical leadership, and Bangalore-founded specialists like Xentrix, which compete on TV animation and gaming-VFX depth rather than blockbuster scale. Match the studio type to your project: a global-major site suits high-end feature or premium streaming work; a Bangalore-founded specialist often suits animated series or game-cinematic work more directly. In practice, the question that trips up producers most often isn’t which studio has the better reel — it’s whether the Bangalore site can actually greenlight and staff the project locally, or whether the real decision-maker sits in Mumbai, London, or Montreal. Confirm that upfront. Given the sector’s reported 2024 revenue decline nationally, verify a shortlisted studio’s current financial stability and active project load before committing, rather than relying on past reputation alone.
Conclusion
Bangalore’s VFX scene is smaller and less publicised than Mumbai’s or Chennai’s, but it’s real: DNEG and MPC both maintain Bangalore studios, and Xentrix Studios has built a genuine homegrown specialism in TV animation and gaming VFX since 2010. The city’s deeper strength remains real-time rendering and gaming-engine talent, drawn from its technology sector — a useful complement to, not a replacement for, traditional feature VFX houses.
