Founder & Creative Director — Kochi, India

Raghu G.

Connecting the dots.

For 25+ years, Raghu G. has moved between story, animation, illustration, design and technology — and found they were never separate disciplines, just dots on the same line. Narrative gives structure its meaning; structure gives stories somewhere to live.

Today he connects them through three ventures, building stories, studios and software that are made to last.

02About

Founder & Creative Director.

Raghu G. began in 1998 as an illustrator and comics artist for Balabhumi, Mathrubhumi's children's weekly, spent seven years in character design and layout for international animation productions, and went on to lead studios as Creative Director — including Vyga Animation, which he founded alongside Vyga News, Vyga Images and Ceonz.

Since 2015 he has built his own ventures: RG STUDIO for SaaS, web and mobile products, ASSET DOCK — his most recent — an asset management platform for organizations, and curious CABIN for story and visual development.

Where narrative becomes structure — motion intelligence meets design systems thinking.
