Digital Dada

My name is Neil B Sadwelkar.

I’m a technical consultant based in Mumbai, India. I travel the world over, for film and series shoots, attending conventions, and the joy of visiting new places. 

For many years now, people in the film-making fraternity in Mumbai, India, and other places, consider me their 'go to' guy for a wide range of tech queries. 

These are, fellow film and TV editors, cinematographer friends, Indian film-makers, students in Film schools, or film-makers in general. I try my best to be a one-man tech resource for film-makers and film and video enthusiasts.

The work I do, is to manage data, workflow, provide services for anything technical related to film-making. Anything that film people have trouble figuring out, I try to make it simple for them.

In my spare time, I read manuals, and other such boring material and try to make it easy for others to go out and make good films and not worry about the tech.

I also design and help set up edit studios, colour grading setups, cinemas, post, sound and VFX facilities, anywhere that films are created or shown. And provide data and backup services to film producers. I provide networked, and shared editing and graphics/VFX storage solutions, as well as large secure transportable disk storage. 

I write when I get the chance or there’s a good chance that someone will read it. I teach at film schools whenever they call me to. I do workshops at film festivals, product launches, and other such. I post on my

when something new comes out. 

I have a blog 

Neil Sadwelkar's musings on Digital 

where I used to write longer pieces, many of which are still relevant.
