Thank you both for your excellent services and friendship.

As I am now leaving the BBC, I thought I would drop you a line to wish you well for the future. I am grateful to you for all your efforts on behalf of the Eastern Service. You have helped us to keep in touch with our listeners – and have done so with dispatch and economy. I have also enjoyed our many meetings on my visits to Delhi and the hospitality and kindness which you have always shown me. With best wishes for the future.

David Page

Former Editor - BBC South Asian Services

The remarkable man at the BBC Delhi office, known to us as Bali Sahib, was a customs clearing agent who, in my time, would ride his scooter to the airport at any hour and in any weather — even to clear a single radio cassette bound for London. It was an essential service, delivered with dedication by a man we deeply admired.

Sir Mark Tully

British Journalist and Bureau Chief - BBC New Delhi

Over the years, we’ve brought some of our most complex international films to India, including Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Slumdog Millionaire, Holy Smoke, and many others. Through shifting plans, evolving customs requirements, and demanding schedules, Bali And Company has been the one constant we’ve relied on. Their expertise, strong on-ground relationships, and ability to keep equipment moving smoothly have made a real difference. What truly sets them apart is their commitment. They treat every project as their own and stay involved until the very end. We can recommend Bali And Company without hesitation — they’ve earned our trust through years of consistent, thoughtful work.

Productions like The Amazing Race demand flawless logistics, with equipment and crews moving between cities overnight and no margin for error. Bali And Company has handled this pressure with calm precision season after season, anticipating challenges and ensuring everything is in place before it’s needed.Across other sensitive and fast-paced projects as well, they’ve shown consistency, discretion, and reliability. It’s rare to find a logistics partner who can keep pace with the unpredictability of television, and that is why we’ve continued working with Bali And Company for many years.
