About Charuvi Design Labs
Charuvi Design Labs (CDL) is an Indian boutique animation, visual-effects and immersive-design studio founded in 2009 by fine artist, animator and filmmaker Charuvi Agrawal with executive producer Aditya Singhal. It operates as both a commercial production studio and an experimental creative think tank, connecting traditional fine arts, Indian cultural narratives and digital visualization.
The studio creates 2D and 3D character animation, stereoscopic films, visual effects, concept art, storyboards and pre-visualization. Its wider practice includes XR, augmented and virtual reality experiences, interactive installations, projection mapping, digital strategy, UI/UX, mobile applications and casual games. CDL also develops original intellectual property and cultural worldbuilding projects.
Animation, screen work and VFX
CDL’s screen work ranges from animated series and short films to feature-film visual effects and advertising. Its 2013 stereoscopic short Shri Hanuman Chalisa brought international festival exposure and helped establish an approach that combines mythology with stylised digital imagery. The studio later co-created and served as a visual partner on the Disney+ Hotstar animated series The Legend of Hanuman, produced in collaboration with Graphic India.
Other supported work includes animation and visual sequences for Legends of the Ramayana with Amish, visual effects for Muzaffar Ali’s Jaanisaar, and the real-time CGI short The Ballad of Prahalad: Narasimha Awakens.
Immersive cultural experiences
Alongside screen production, CDL designs museum and public-facing experiences that combine animation, spatial storytelling and physical craft. Its projects include 360-degree films on the life of Gautam Buddha for the Swadesh Darshan Buddhist Circuit, the multi-screen dome presentation Dastaan-e-Shahadat, and Dhan Dhan Baba Nanak.
The studio also creates large-scale interactive sculptural works, including Kaavad, a 16-foot sculptural storybook, and bell-based installations such as the Shri Hanuman Suspended Sculpture. This combination of animation production, immersive media and monumental public art is central to CDL’s practice.
