Entertainment · India · 2004–Present
Two decades of digital work for India's entertainment industry — built on relationships, not transactions.
Actor websites, film microsites, and civic platforms for some of India's most recognisable names. Work that began with a single introduction in Australia and grew into a twenty-year chapter that also opened the door to aviation, philanthropy, and social impact.

The entertainment chapter began with a connection from the Australian years. Raj Suri — reached through the network built during the Sydney period — introduced Webonautics to his brother Sanjay Suri, the actor and filmmaker. That introduction, in 2004, opened a twenty-year relationship and a thread of connections that ran deep into India's entertainment industry.
Sanjay Suri led to Rohit Roy. Rohit Roy led to Gul Panag. And Gul Panag — through her network and advocacy work — led to Captain Attari, a Jet Airways pilot, which opened the entire aviation chapter. The entertainment work and the aviation work share a root: a single introduction in Australia that compounded across two decades and two continents.
Entertainment work led to aviation infrastructure. The same network that built actor websites built regulatory software for international airlines. This is what twenty years of relationship-first work looks like.
Sanjay Suri
2004 — 2024
Actor · Filmmaker · White Feather Films
Our longest-running client and the first connection into India's entertainment industry. Sanjay Suri is an actor, filmmaker, and co-founder of White Feather Films — the production house behind My Brother Nikhil, one of the first mainstream Indian films to address HIV/AIDS and homosexuality directly. Webonautics built his personal website and the My Brother Nikhil film microsite — a digital presence for a film that mattered well beyond box office numbers. His website remains live. The relationship ran from 2004 through 2024.
Rohit Roy
2004 — 2021
Actor
Actor and television personality, known across Hindi film and television. Rohit Roy's personal website was built and maintained by Webonautics from 2004 through 2021 — seventeen years of continuous engagement. The relationship came through Sanjay Suri, and it was Rohit Roy who in turn introduced Webonautics to Gul Panag, extending the entertainment network into the civic and advocacy space.
Gul Panag
2007 — Present
Actor · Activist · Gul 4 Change
Actor, activist, and founder of Gul 4 Change — one of the most substantive client relationships in the entertainment chapter. Gul Panag's work with Webonautics extended well beyond a personal website into a full civic platform: SOAP (Social Outreach Accreditation Program), built in partnership with the Col. Shamsher Singh Foundation. She remains an active client. And it was through Gul Panag's network that Webonautics connected with Captain Attari — the Jet Airways pilot who opened the entire aviation chapter.
Vimala Raman
2004 — 2009
Actor · Tamil · Telugu · Hindi Cinema
Personal website for Vimala Raman, the actress known for her work across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema. A multilingual career across industries — the website reflected the range and depth of her work across Indian film.
And More
2004 — 2021
Actors · Production Houses · 15+ Projects
The entertainment chapter extended across a wide network of actors and production houses — each relationship built through personal introduction rather than agency or marketplace. Every project was a direct client engagement.
The most technically ambitious project in the entertainment chapter was not a website — it was a civic infrastructure platform built for Gul Panag's social impact initiative, in partnership with the Col. Shamsher Singh Foundation.
SOAP
Social Outreach Accreditation Program · 2010–2012
SOAP was a credits-based civic accreditation platform connecting three constituencies — NGOs, corporate and educational institution partners, and volunteers — through a structured system of project registration, volunteer matching, credit allocation, and impact tracking.
NGOs registered project ideas and published opportunities. Volunteers applied, completed work, and earned credits based on task level and hours contributed. Corporate and educational partners could view volunteer credit profiles, fund NGO projects, and track the civic engagement of their own staff and students. The SOAP credit became a portable record of civic contribution — verifiable by employers and institutions.
The platform covered the full civic lifecycle: online registration and approval, project management, volunteer matching, progress tracking, photo and document uploads, credit calculation, leaderboards, and reporting. Three separate dashboards — NGO, Partner, and Admin — each with role-specific workflows.
The entertainment chapter was never about volume. It was about depth of relationship and trust built over time. Sanjay Suri has been a client since 2004 — over twenty years. Gul Panag since 2007. These are not transactional engagements — they are working relationships that evolved as the clients' careers and projects evolved.
Every actor website we built was a personal digital identity — not a template applied, but a considered representation of a person's work and presence. And when the work extended beyond websites into platforms like SOAP, it extended because the client trusted us with something that mattered.
The entertainment work compounded differently from the aviation work. Relationships deepened, extended, and opened new doors — including the door to the aviation industry that became the largest chapter of the Webonautics story.
