It is with great pleasure and pleasing note we would like to reciprocate our appreciation for your valuable contribution to the making of a commercial “West Myth”. It will be not in any way an exaggeration to say that your high standard of skill in professional service and clear high standing with the Customs and other services involved in the matter of clearance is the key to our success in making the film. Thanking you for your excellent services for which we remain ever grateful.

We wished to let you know how much we appreciated your contribution to the making of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” in India. Shipping can always be troublesome but your professional service and clear high standing with the custom services made it possible for us to achieve the remarkable feat of clearing 46 tons of equipment in just two days! Your hard work and commitment has been very appreciated and we are happy to say that we would highly recommend your company to anyone considering working in India. Thank you both for your excellent services and friendship.

Charles Salmon

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.

From handling period equipment and large-scale shipments to navigating permissions at heritage locations, they brought clarity and discipline to every stage.

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.
