THE ARCHITECT
Fifteen years inside sport, forty-three countries on the passport and a camera that has stood on the touchline of the biggest football nights in the world. Shreepad has been Lead DOP on documentary work for LALIGA, FC Bayern, FC Barcelona and Manchester United, and has filmed for PSG, FC Augsburg and the Bundesliga — six Champions League games in total, including the Champions League Final, PSG vs Inter Milan. Messi and Lewandowski are both on his shot list.
Beyond football, he has led major content filming for top leagues across the globe — the F1 Singapore Grand Prix and FIFA 2026 in Mexico among them. Six years as an IPL Operations Manager and fifteen years around cricket gave him something most sports DOPs never build: an operational read of a live event, and an eye trained to find the frame before the moment arrives.
At the other end of the game, he has built grassroots documentary work across India — the I-League and MDFA Mumbai — and was one of the pioneers of broadcasting kids' football in Mumbai. On TPL 2026 he leads from the front: creative direction across all five phases, hero cinematic shots, the signature owner and celebrity setup, and the drone unit.

THE CONTROL ROOMCreative Producer & Executive Producer
MANAGING DIRECTOR · PINEAL ENTERTAINMENT
Riddhima runs Pineal. For TPL she owns the season end to end — scope, schedule, budgets, client approvals and the machine that moves a ten-person unit across four cities. Every deliverable and sign-off passes her desk before it reaches TPL.
HEAD OF CONTENTLead Photographer + Drone
10 YEARS · GLOBAL EVENTS IN INDIA · IPL · MUMBAI INDIANS
A decade on the biggest floors in the country. Yash leads content output for the season — hero stills, the aerial language and the look of everything leaving the ground unit. He carries IPL seasons with Mumbai Indians, where the standard is simple: the moment does not come back.
THE SPORTS EYECreative Photographer + DOP
6 YEARS · SPORTS ACROSS INDIA
Six years of Indian sport through a viewfinder. Ram works the line between stills and cinema — the portrait that becomes key art, the detail that carries a promo. On TPL: player and owner portraiture, court-side detail and secondary cine angles.
LEAD DOP · LEAGUELead Director of Photography — Main League
IPL EXPERIENCE WITH 3 MAJOR FRANCHISES
Royston runs the camera on the six days that matter most. Three major IPL franchises taught him the rhythm of a live sports day — warm-ups, tunnel, first serve, celebration — and where the camera must already be standing. He leads the A-camera on TPL.
THE CUTTING ROOMLead Editor
EDIT LEAD · DAILY TURNAROUND
Guru leads the edit. Every cut the league puts out — daily reels, highlights, promos and the hero films — is built on his timeline. He sets the pace of the season's storytelling and turns six days of live sport into something people watch twice.
HEAD OF POSTPost-Production Head
3 IPL SEASONS · MAJOR FRANCHISES
Three IPL seasons of turnaround pressure. Paritosh heads post — daily reels out the same night, highlights inside 48 hours, and the grade and sound signature that make every phase read as one film. The pipeline is built before day one.
LEAD DOPLead Director of Photography
IPL — 3 SEASONS WITH MAJOR FRANCHISES
One of the lead DOPs across the league. Dev shares the A-unit load with Royston — match action, stage moments, owner and celebrity setups and the hero cine angles that carry the promos. Three IPL seasons with major franchises taught him to shoot fast without losing the frame.
THE ALL-ROUNDERContent Lead + DIT + On-Ground Operations
FEATURE FILM BACKGROUND · MUMBAI INDIANS · RELIANCE
Tanmay comes from a cinematic background — a long run on feature films that shows in how he reads a frame, a lens and a light source. On TPL he is the all-rounder: content lead on the floor, DIT and backups, power and gear across every city leg, and an extra cinematic eye wherever the unit needs one.
One studio, one visual language, every phase — auction, grassroots, influencers, gala night and six days of live league. Broadcast-grade craft, same-day social speed and an AI-augmented creative layer, delivered on the ground by this unit.
