About Gaffing & Lighting Crew Services
What Drives Us
We started Light And Grips because we care about the craft, not just the gear. If your project needs real gaffer and crew expertise and you’re looking for a team that’s been doing this since Salaam Bombay days, we’re your people. We don’t take every job - only the ones where our skills actually matter.
Meet the Crew
Our team isn’t just a bunch of technicians. You get folks who know their stuff - chief lighting techs, best boys, sparks, DMX pros. Everyone’s trained by us and knows how to work with the director of photography, solve problems on set, and keep things running.
- Gaffer leads the charge
- Best boys handle logistics and gear
- Sparks rig and cable every light
- DMX operators for advanced controls
How We Work
We’re there from the start. We help plan the lighting, pick the right kit, and figure out how to make the look work for your budget. On shoot day, whether you want ultra-soft beauty or dramatic sunlight patches, we’ll make it happen.
Problem Solving on Set
Challenges are our thing. We’ve fixed overheating halogen setups for disco songs, set up rainproof lighting setups in Mumbai monsoons, and cracked tricky single shadow shots. Creative rigging for shoots? Been there, done that.
What We Do Best
- Complex rigging on towers, cranes, balconies
- Special effects lighting for fire flickers, sunlight shafts
- Budget-friendly solutions without killing the creative vibe
If you want a crew that knows how to solve lighting problems and keep shoots moving, we’re ready.

My Story
We’re Light And Grips - Mulchand and Hetal Dedhia here. Started way back when film sets ran on jugaad (resourcefulness). First gaffer crew in India, and yes, Hetal broke the mould as the first female gaffer. From Salaam Bombay to Dil Chahta Hai, we’ve sweated it out on set, always backing the DoP’s vision. Training crews, chasing new tech, still learning, still loving the grind.
