Offer 02 — Event Production

You have the show. We build it.

GIFLIF produces live events across India for organisers who already have the show. It covers artist curation and booking, the vendor network, structural design, venue selection, permissions and on-ground command on show day, from offices in Bhopal and Gurugram.

Artist curation is pan-India and we produce nationally. Madhya Pradesh and Delhi NCR are our two core regions — run from our Bhopal and Gurugram offices, and the places we hold the vendors, the venues and the permissions ourselves.

We are the operator, not a middleman

  • Artist curation, pan-India. Line-up thinking, negotiation, contracting, riders, travel and hospitality — for a hundred-plus artists across a decade, anywhere in the country.
  • Vendors are ours, not sourced on the day. Stage, truss and rigging, sound, lighting, LED, power and backup, barricading, housekeeping and security — held relationships in Bhopal, Indore and Delhi NCR, used repeatedly, across years.
  • Structural design in-house. Stage and set design, sightline planning, crowd flow and entry/exit design — drawn before anyone quotes on it.
  • Venues we actually know. Not a list off the internet — capacities, load-in constraints, power availability, noise limits, and which ones say yes in which season.
  • Permissions and licences. Police, fire, municipal, noise and the paperwork that quietly kills shows that were otherwise ready.
  • Command on show day. One person accountable, on site, with the authority to decide.

Questions we get asked

Do you subcontract the work?

No. The vendor relationships, the design work and the on-ground crew are ours and are used repeatedly. We will bring in specialists for genuinely specialist scopes — pyro, for instance — but the production itself is run by GIFLIF, and one named person is accountable on site.

What if we already have our own production designer?

That is common and completely fine. We execute other people's designs regularly. Send the drawings and we will tell you what is buildable in that venue, at that budget, in that season.

Which cities do you cover?

We produce nationally and curate artists pan-India. Madhya Pradesh and Delhi NCR are our two core regions — run from the Bhopal and Gurugram offices — and in both we hold the vendor, venue and permissions network ourselves, which makes us faster and cheaper there. Elsewhere in India we bring the production lead and the curation, and partner locally for hands.

Can you handle permissions?

Yes — police, fire, municipal and noise clearances are part of the scope. It is usually the least glamorous and most schedule-critical part of the job.

How early do you need to be involved?

For a concert, six to eight weeks is comfortable and four is workable. Earlier matters most for venue availability and permissions, not for the build.

Have a date in Madhya Pradesh?

Send the date, the venue if you have one, and roughly what the show is. We will come back with what it takes to build it here.
