Getting Here by Metro

Vadapalani station is on the Green Line of Chennai Metro, which means you can reach the studio without touching Chennai traffic from most of the city: from Central, from Koyambedu and the CMBT side, or from the St. Thomas Mount end of the line. Step out of the station and the studio is a short walk away on W Sivan Koil Street.

Do not memorise directions. Open the map below or tap this Google Maps link and it will walk you from the station exit to our door, turn by turn. If you get confused anywhere, call us on +91 73977 10094 and we will talk you in.

Getting Here Without the Metro

Vadapalani is one of the best connected neighbourhoods in Chennai. The Vadapalani bus terminus is a major stop for routes across the city, and Arcot Road, the area's main artery, is minutes from the studio. Autos and cabs know the area well; give the driver "W Sivan Koil Street, Vadapalani, near the Vadapalani temple side" or simply share the maps link, and you will be dropped at the door.

One honest note, because we would rather you know before you leave home: there is no parking at the studio itself. If you are driving, plan for street realities in a busy neighbourhood, or better, leave the car and take the Metro. Almost every client who has done both prefers the train.

Why a Studio in Vadapalani Makes Sense

Vadapalani is Chennai's old film district. The neighbourhood grew up around studios and production houses, and that legacy still shapes it: crews live here, equipment suppliers operate here, and half the industry passes through it every week. Putting a podcast and video studio here was not an accident.

For you, the practical benefits are simpler. The Metro makes your guests' lives easy, which matters more than most hosts realise: a guest who had a smooth trip arrives relaxed and gives you a better episode. Food is everywhere around the station for your session break. And if your shoot needs anything last minute, this is the one neighbourhood in Chennai where it is probably available within a kilometre.

What You Get Inside

The full setup is included in the hourly rate, not billed as extras:

• Sony A7M3 and ZV-E10 cameras with multiple angles
• Sennheiser Profile podcast microphones
• Amaran 300C key light, RGB tubes and softboxes
• Green screen wall and five set styles
• Acoustic wood panelling and air conditioning
• A trained operator who runs the entire session

You talk. Someone else worries about focus, framing and audio levels. That is the difference between renting a room and renting a studio.

What It Costs

The rate is flat and published: Rs 750 per hour plus 18 percent GST, which is Rs 885 per hour all inclusive. The minimum booking is four continuous hours, Rs 3,540 in total. A full day of 8 hours is Rs 7,080, and the Monthly Creator plan gives 16 hours across the month for Rs 14,160 with priority slots and two edited reels included. Editing is optional: Rs 3,000 for a long video or podcast edit, Rs 750 per vertical short. The full breakdown, including the GST maths and what the minimum really buys, is in our complete price guide.

Timing Your Session Around the Metro

Because the studio runs 10 AM to 10 PM every day, the Metro shapes two natural session windows. Morning people book the 10 AM slot: the trains are past their office-hour crush, the studio is fresh, and a four hour session still leaves the whole afternoon free. Working professionals book evenings, 6 PM to 10 PM: finish work, ride the Green Line in while the roads outside are jammed, record for four hours, and the late trains take you home. The people stuck in traffic on Arcot Road at 7 PM are the ones who drove.

Weekend mornings are the most requested slots, so book those a week ahead. Weekday afternoons are the quietest and the easiest to get at short notice.

If You Are Bringing a Guest

A podcast lives or dies on how comfortable the guest is, and that starts with the journey. Send your guest two things: the maps link and the sentence "it is five minutes from Vadapalani Metro". If they are coming by cab, the drop-off is at the door. If they arrive early, there is no awkward waiting in the sun: the studio is air conditioned and the operator will settle them in while you set up.

For out of town guests, the Metro connection matters even more: the Green Line links toward the airport side of the network, so a guest can land in Chennai and reach the studio by train without ever explaining an address to a driver.

Booking From the Train, Literally

The booking page shows a live 14 day availability grid in one hour slots. Pick your date, pick at least four continuous hours, and submit; the whole thing takes about a minute on a phone. The team confirms on WhatsApp during working hours, and a Rs 500 GPay advance locks your slot, deducted from your final bill.
