In a world overflowing with information, making your message stand out is no small feat. Enter Design Jockeys, the Mumbai-based creative studio founded in 2013 by Navid Irani and Nidhi Shah, where storytelling is not just a craft—it’s a mission. The studio transforms ideas into videos that captivate, inform, and inspire audiences, helping brands communicate with clarity and impact.
The spark behind Design Jockeys was simple: a shared passion for visual storytelling and the desire to create content that truly connects. While many businesses struggled to express their ideas effectively, Navid and Nidhi saw an opportunity to bridge the gap—combining creativity with strategy. Over the years, Design Jockeys has built expertise in explainer videos, corporate films, brand stories, motion graphics, and live event AVs, offering end-to-end solutions from scripting to final production.
Like every entrepreneurial journey, the road wasn’t smooth. The early days were filled with uncertainties—irregular projects, unpredictable payments, and the challenge of wearing multiple hats. But these challenges became lessons in resilience, focus, and adaptability. They learned that empathy, attention to detail, and persistence are just as critical as creativity.
What sets Design Jockeys apart is its ability to turn complex ideas into simple, visually compelling stories. The team doesn’t just create content—they craft experiences. Each project is carefully designed to ensure it not only looks exceptional but also delivers measurable results. The studio’s collaborative approach ensures that client vision is heard, interpreted, and transformed into videos that resonate deeply.
Recognition has followed their dedication. Design Jockeys has received the Bharat Udyog Ratna Award and the National Icon Award for Best Explainer and Corporate Video Production in India—a testament to their innovation, consistency, and quality.
Looking ahead, Design Jockeys is embracing the future of storytelling with interactive videos, branded content, and global collaborations. As video continues to dominate digital communication, the studio is set to expand its reach while remaining true to its core philosophy: every story matters, every frame counts.
For aspiring entrepreneurs, the founders offer this advice: “Start small, stay consistent, and focus on creating work that connects. Listen, adapt, and never undervalue your craft. Persistence wins.”
Today, Design Jockeys is more than a video production studio—it is a creative partner for brands aiming to be seen, remembered, and felt. Through every frame, the studio continues to turn ideas into visual stories that leave a lasting impact.
