Hi! I am an educator, animator, illustrator, cartoonist and comic book artist and storyteller with over 30 years of experience..

I was the Head of the IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India. I am currently the Dean at the School of Design, UPES, Dehradun, India. For the past 13 years at IIT Bombay, I taught animation principles, character design, sketching and anatomy, game design. 

I worked in the animation and gaming industries for 18 years prior to joining academics.

I believe that storytelling, creativity, art and design have to be taught at the school level. I am of the opinion that this will change societies for the better.

Through this channel, I hope to inspire and motivate youngsters to take up art, design, illustration, storytelling and animation as a career -  to realize their dreams and to make a difference to the world around us.

Keep drawing and stay happy! :)
