Then I have worked in game production as Game Artist at Lakshya Digital and Now I am working at Dhruva Interactive in Bangalore.

Although I am working as an Artist, My passion for teaching 3d Modeling, Zbrush sculpting and texturing of game art is still ALIVE.

That's why I am teaching these current edge technology of creating character and prop assets for games (mobile, PC, PS4). Which we are using in production house today.
