What a Podcast Studio Actually Costs in Ludhiana
Most studios in Punjab will not put a number on a page, which is why you are reading this. Here is the full price list, what each figure includes, and the three costs that quietly appear on other people's invoices after the shoot.
The two ways to pay
Hourly, at ₹999 with no minimum, when you know what you need and it is short — one interview, a batch of reels, a voice-over read. Or by session, from ₹3,999, when you are recording a full episode and want the setup time, the operator and the edit path included rather than metered. Four hours of hourly costs roughly the same as The Essentials session, but the session includes setup, which the hourly clock does not.
What the session rates cover
₹3,999 Essentials: two cameras, Rode mics, a 60-minute recording session. ₹4,999 Multi-Cam Pro: three cameras, cinematic lighting — the most-booked option. ₹7,999 Newsroom Edition: three-camera 4K, dual collar mics, broadcast lighting. ₹9,999 Creator Stack: a Pro shoot, a full edit and three reels bundled. All four include the room, the gear, the operator and same-day raw files.
Editing, priced separately and honestly
Quick Cut ₹2,999 for a 30-minute episode. Full Edit ₹4,999 for 60 minutes, with lower-thirds, chapters and light colour. Reels ₹500 each with captions. We keep editing separate because plenty of people edit their own footage, and bundling it would mean charging them for something they do not use.
The three costs to ask any studio about
First: is the operator included, or billed as crew? Second: are the raw files yours on the day, or held until the edit is paid? Third: is there a minimum booking that turns the hourly rate into something else. Ours are: included, yours, and none. Ask the other studios you are considering the same three questions — the answers are more revealing than the headline rate.
Range-priced work
Green screen, voice-over, product and ad film, e-learning, live streaming and photography run ₹500–3,000 an hour, and self-serve hire without an operator runs ₹500–5,000. Where you land depends on cameras, operator, lighting, hours, weekday or weekend, green-screen rigging and whether editing is included. Every one of those is quoted on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Request any open slot and we confirm it on WhatsApp — from ₹3,999 a session, or ₹999 an hour.

₹999 per hour at Sai Podcast Studios, with no minimum booking. Session rates start at ₹3,999 and include setup time and an operator.
Is editing included in the session price?
No, deliberately — plenty of people edit their own footage. Quick Cut is ₹2,999, Full Edit ₹4,999, reels ₹500 each, or take The Creator Stack at ₹9,999 for a shoot plus full edit plus three reels.

No. The operator is included, raw files are yours the same day, and there's no minimum booking. Those are the three places studios usually add cost after the fact — worth asking anyone you compare us with.
