For campaigns like the Sahyadri Hospitals series with Anil Kapoor, my team and I use chroma-key suits to manipulate the puppets in real-time. This allows actors to interact naturally with the character, making the final shot feel like a genuine conversation rather than a CGI afterthought. When you hire me for a brand mascot, you get more than just a static prop. You get a performer. Whether you need a character for a TV commercial, a digital series, or a corporate mascot for an event, I focus on the personality of the puppet. My process is end-to-end. I handle everything from character sketches and foam or fabric fabrication to the final performance on set. I have brought characters to life alongside Indian cricket legends and film stars, ensuring that the puppet is always camera-ready. My studio in Mumbai is equipped to handle builds ranging from hand puppets to animatronic creatures. If you are worried about the technical side, do not be. I bring my own team of puppeteers who specialize in green-screen work, ensuring we achieve the exact look your director needs. If you want your audience to stop scrolling and actually listen to your brand voice, a puppet can often bridge that gap in a way a human actor cannot. Let's discuss how we can build a mascot that fits your brand identity. ## About Satyajit Padhye I am Satyajit Padhye, and puppetry is a legacy I have carried forward for three generations.
