This is the premier showcase of my work, featuring a curated selection of high-impact projects. This carousel is the first thing a potential client sees, designed to quickly demonstrate the breadth and quality of my custom puppet design, creation, and performance services.
Giant Puppets for Events & Causes
I specialize in creating larger-than-life puppets, some standing over 12 feet tall, for major events, stage shows, and social campaigns. These are designed in my Mumbai studio over several weeks and are built to be operated by teams of performers to create a massive visual impact for live audiences.
Brand Mascots & Advertising
I design and create memorable puppet characters that become the face of a brand. From initial concept sketches to full-fledged puppets used in ad films and campaigns, I help companies connect with their audience in a unique and engaging way, often collaborating with celebrities and production houses.
Puppets for Film & Television
My studio specializes in designing and fabricating puppets for the film and television industry. Whether it's a menacing creature for a horror film, realistic animals for a promo, or characters for a mythological series, we combine artistry with engineering to meet the specific needs of a production.
Live Stage Performances & International Tours
From large-scale arena shows with international music artists to televised cultural events and intimate theatre performances, I bring puppets to life on stage. My acts combine ventriloquism, puppetry, and storytelling, and I've had the honor of representing India at numerous global festivals.
Workshops & Education
I am passionate about sharing the art of puppetry and ventriloquism with enthusiasts of all ages, especially children. I conduct hands-on workshops at my Mumbai studio where students learn the basics of voice modulation, puppet operation, and even create their own simple sock puppets to take home.
Character & Comedy Reels
I create short, engaging, and often humorous content for social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. This includes topical comedy skits, trending song parodies, and funny interactions featuring my diverse cast of puppet characters, keeping the traditional art of puppetry relevant in the digital age.
The Padhye Legacy & Studio Craft
I am a third-generation artist, carrying forward a legacy of puppetry that began with my grandfather. This collection offers a glimpse into our family's journey, the history behind iconic characters like Tatya Vinchu, and my own career milestones, all rooted in the craft honed at our Mumbai studio.
Social Awareness Campaigns
I firmly believe in using my art for a purpose. I collaborate with organizations like the Mumbai Police and foundations to create impactful social awareness campaigns, tackling issues like tobacco addiction and social violence through the engaging and disarming medium of puppetry.
