Industry Commentary and Media Interviews

Speaking the Truth

I have spent three decades in the media industry, from the newsrooms of Hindustan Times to major animation studios. When I speak about the industry, I don't give you PR-friendly answers. I talk about what really happens behind the scenes.

My media appearances and personal content focus on three things:

• The Reality of AI: We need to be careful. As I often say, saavdhani hati, durghatna ghati (if you lose caution, you invite trouble). I break down how AI image generators actually use your data and why you should value human art over automated shortcuts.
• The Artist's Journey: It is not always glamorous. It involves hard work, late nights, and constantly evolving your craft. In my interviews, I share the actual struggles of making it as a professional cartoonist in India today.
• Mentorship for the Next Gen: I am not just here to showcase my work. I am here to guide students in Mass Comm and Fine Arts. If you are a college festival organizer or a media house looking for an honest take on where our industry is heading, let us talk.

Why Invite Me?

I don't believe in giving lectures that bore students. My sessions are interactive. I speak straight, I answer the hard questions, and I keep the environment engaging. Whether it is a panel discussion on media ethics or a guest lecture for design students, I bring the weight of my experience and the fire of someone who deeply cares about the future of Indian art.
