## About Custom Puppet Design & Creation

I’m Satyajit Padhye, born into a family where puppet-making is just part of life. For me, making a puppet is about building a character, not just an object. Each one has its own quirks and story, and honestly, some are tougher to crack than others.

### What I Build

- Brand mascot puppets that really stick in people’s minds (like Vichaar Kar for Sahyadri Hospitals)
- Puppets for films, ads, and TV - sometimes wild stuff, like realistic animals or 3D printed character puppets for a movie set
- Giant puppets for events or stage shows. Once did a 12-foot puppet for Paani Foundation, and yeah, it’s as crazy to handle as it sounds

### How It Happens

- First, we chat about what you want - even if it’s just a vague idea or a doodle, we’ll start from there
- I sketch and tweak until the character feels right
- Everything is made in my Mumbai studio, mixing old-school handcrafting with newer tricks like 3D printing if needed

### Beyond Just Building

- Sometimes, I stick around to perform with the puppet myself, especially if you want that extra bit of life in your project
- Every puppet gets a bit of that old Padhye family soul, but I’m always up for experimenting with fresh ideas and tech

*"Ase shekdo bhawle yetil ani jatil..."* (Hundreds of puppets will come and go...) but every one’s got its own vibe.

## Meet your expert

[Satyajit Padhye](https://mytribe.in/satyajitpadhye)

### My story

Hi, I’m Satyajit. Puppetry’s been in my blood for ages – my dad, granddad, all of us. Honestly, people always thought it’s just kid stuff, but nope, adults love it too! I even became a CA because, you know, stability, but puppets kept calling. Now, it’s my full-time world, and my wife and daughter are in it too. Labhle amhaas bhagya bolto Marathi (lucky to speak Marathi), lucky to share this joy.

### My work

- **Ventriloquism & Puppetry Shows**: I perform for live events, TV, and films, mixing Marathi ventriloquism performances with local humour.
- **Custom Puppet Character Design**: I create custom puppet characters for ads, brands, and even special 3D printed celebrity puppets.
- **Not Just for Kids**: My scripts are witty, interactive ventriloquism for adults too, not just children.
- **Legacy with a Twist**: From giant puppet event shows to experimenting with tech and AI, I keep our 100-year-old art fresh.
