StudioBackdrops.com was launched in 2016 by Archisman Misra, an industry expert, who was frustrated with the lack of good photography equipment in India. The online entity was born out of this need to make world-class photography and video equipment easily available to photographers, cinematographers and content creators in India. The platform brought together experienced professionals to curate locally sourced products and internationally renowned brands. It started with a limited number of products and has grown its offerings substantially. StudioBackdrops.com is now the biggest online platform for Photography and Videography solutions in India. The start-up is now 5 years old with thousands of unique customers and more than 25,000 orders fulfilled.
