GIANT ROBOT is an urban design house based in Mumbai. We mainly deal with innovative graphic design, conceptual illustration and motion.
At Giant Robot, we find it interesting to collaborate with like minded artists on avant-garde concepts. Since its inception in 2007, Giant Robot has successfully worked and produced innovative concepts and creative art solutions for various ad agencies.
Graduates from the Sir JJ Institute of Applied Arts, Mumbai based illustrators Rahul & Yadnyee Gaikwad are a husband and wife team.
Rahul has shown his expertise as an animator with UTV Toons, 2NZ (Toonz Animation Studio). He then worked with Tata Interactive as an illustrator and as a concept artist for India Games, post which he shifted to being a full time freelancer working with various advertising agencies.
Yadnyee on the other hand has worked on educational projects for children of Jharkhand and Chattisgarh with ILFSETS. She has also illustrated various children’s books with UNICEF for underprivileged children.
Together they initiated 'Giant Robot', their own studio, in 2007 and since then they have worked together on several projects for various ad agencies and design houses. Rahul takes a deep interest in exploring Indian mythology and creates concept art for the same, while Yadnyee aspires to write and illustrate a book of short stories for children. Both compliment each other through their constant learning and up gradation of graphic designing, thus keeping their work very contemporary.
