My time spent in the Animation profession has been very brief. However it was aligned to my larger journey of understanding the Indian essence in terms of thought and content. In this session I would like to share aspects of this brief journey – the struggle, the training, the personalities encountered, the roadblocks faced and the potential ways forward. The presentation will be in the form of an informal chat with accompanying visuals/videos ending with question-answer interaction.

To call him an animator, would be a gross understatement of his abilities. He can wear other hats, just as proficiently, like that of an architect, a cartoonist and many others. He can hold his own just as well with experts of archeology, history, mythology, folk art and one cannot forget educationist. His explorations are steeped in Indian tradition and yet manage to be refreshingly contemporary. On this journey of personal growth, he has been blessed with many gurus like B. V. Doshi, Mario Miranda, Ram Mohan, Kaj Pindal, Derek Lamb, Walter Spink, and others, each leading lights in their own fields. Always a student and a great teacher, he has groomed many of the country’s animators and inspired many others.
