They have built significant technology infrastructure (CTO has been with Ashish for 17 years). However, they rely on third-party tech vendors for AV, projection mapping, AR/VR, immersive installations, and stage technology in their live event productions.

Subject: Pixel Hues × BookMyShow Live — immersive-tech preferred partner for 2026-27 concert cycle
Dear Mr. Pugalia,
I lead The Pixel Hues, a Delhi-based immersive-tech studio specialising in projection mapping, AR/VR, and venue design for premium live events. Recent work: BMW anamorphic + HCL immersive installations.
Saw your role as Chief of Business - Live Events at BookMyShow. With 70-80+ major concert days per year (per EY-Parthenon 2025), BookMyShow Live is India's most prolific concert producer. Pixel Hues would love to explore a preferred-tech-partner relationship for your 2026-27 concert cycle and venue launches (BookMyShow Venues Management).
Happy to send a brief reel + proposal. Available for a 15-min call next week.
Warm regards,
Ajay Pillai · Founder · The Pixel Hues
ajay@thepixelhues.com
🎯 Strategy: Parallel motion via WhatsApp / email to Ashish Hemrajani (27 yrs, still active).
WhatsApp draft (Ajay Pillai → Ashish Hemrajani):
"Namaste Ashish-ji — Ajay Pillai, founder of The Pixel Hues (Delhi, immersive-tech studio). Bigtree's 27-yr journey from 1999 to India's #1 ticketing platform is iconic. Saw the EY-Parthenon report — 70-80+ concert days/year on BookMyShow Live is serious scale. We do projection mapping + AR/VR + immersive venue design. Recent work: BMW anamorphic + HCL immersive. Worth a 15-min chat to explore preferred-tech-partner for BookMyShow Live 2026-27? 🙏"
🎯 Strategy: Approach Raashi Sanghavi (Head of Experiences - IPs and Live Events) for IP-themed immersive installations.
To: raashi.sanghavi@bookmyshow.com
Subject: IP-led immersive experiences partnership — Pixel Hues × BookMyShow IPs
Dear Ms. Sanghavi,
I lead The Pixel Hues (Delhi). Saw your role heading IPs and Live Events experiences at BookMyShow. Our projection mapping + AR/VR + immersive installation work is exactly the canvas for IP-led experiences — think comic-con style installations, movie IP activations, sports IP fan zones.
Would love to discuss preferred-tech-partner for IP experiences at BookMyShow Live + Venues. Reel + proposal available on request.
Best,
Ajay Pillai · Founder · The Pixel Hues
