Happy Finish is pleased to announce that it is further strengthening its excellent India team by announcing the arrival of Hrishikesh Andurlekar, who joins Happy Finish as a highly experienced CG artist. Hrishikesh is amongst the very best artists in the Indian market and his appointment is a fantastic step towards boosting the creative standards of our Mumbai studio.
With 14 years experience in the Indian CG industry across both film and commercials, and combining a wealth of creative and technical experience, Hrishikesh has a deep understanding of the intricacies of CG, and has worked with major studios across India including Rhythm & Hues, Prana and Pixion, where he was Head of CG.
Global CEO, Simon Gosling said:
Happy Finish is synonymous with high quality imagery production, always looking at ways to raise the bar and improve industry standards. One sure-fire way to achieve this is to employ the very best talent. Since launching our Mumbai studio 2 years ago, Happy Finish India has gone from strength to strength, producing advertising imagery for a range of clients including Renault, Unilever, Singapore Airlines and Lenovo."
Hrishikesh began his career as a first class graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Mumbai University, but grew up fascinated by the visual effects in Return of the Jedi and animations of Voyager spacecraft rendered by NASA as he worked his way into the world of computer graphics.
Away from work Hrishikesh enjoys the outdoors and is mostly found exploring old forts in the Sahyadri mountains on weekends, where he engages in his other hobby of stargazing as an amateur astronomer. He also loves cats!
We are confident Hrishikesh will make a significant impact in our Mumbai Studio and continue the great work the team in India are doing. I am very excited to join Happy Finish as I believe that it is positioned perfectly to bring in high value VFX services to India and the South East Asian region, while pushing the quality bar several notches higher , says Hrishikesh.
"This is just the right recipe needed to garnish our growing Studio in India. An industry-recognised heavyweight to weave a mutual growth story with Happy Finish India , says CEO, Ashish Limaye.
