— About Tero
We are
Tero Studios.
An independent animation and motion design studio based in Chennai. We build cinematic films, motion design systems and immersive work for brands that care about how their story moves.

— A creative powerhouse
A studio built on
craft, not scale.
Tero began as a two-person room in Adyar with a borrowed Cintiq and one unreasonable belief — that an Indian studio could ship work the world would forward without footnotes.
Twelve years on, we're a team of forty senior animators, directors, engineers and producers based in Chennai. Still small enough that the founder reviews every frame. Still picky about the briefs we take.

— What makes us different
Four things we refuse
to compromise on.
Treatment-led
Every project starts with a written treatment — story locked before a single frame is animated.
Principal-led
A director or lead is on every call. No juniors fronting client work, ever.
On-time, every time
Twelve years, zero missed launch deadlines. Production rigor baked into the craft.
One roof, full stack
Script, design, 3D, 2D, VFX, sound — handed off internally, not across vendors.
— By the numbers
A decade of frames,
shipped with intent.
Numbers we like, but the work is what we'd rather you remember.

— Capabilities
Everything we make,
under one roof.
Five practices, one production floor. Briefs move between them without a single vendor hand-off.

— Frequently asked
Honest
answers.
The questions clients ask us most often, answered without marketing speak.
Brand films, explainers, ad campaigns, character work, product animation, motion design systems and visual effects for live action. If it moves on a screen and tells a story, we're probably the right fit.
