Sashi Vadakkepat
Director

Sashi is an alumnus of Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering and Arizona State University. He has wide experience in computer graphics, having worked in areas as diverse as entertainment, CAD, weather visualization & mobile applications. Sashi has held software development roles at Paraform Inc, Spatial Corp, Weather Services Inc, Metris International & Samsung R&D.

After living and working in the US for 15 years, he felt the need to build a link between his creative and professional pursuits. So he quit his job on the sunny shores of California and moved back to the sunnier shores of Madras, the place of his birth, the city of temples and music, punch dialogues and cutouts, and founded punchdialog studios. Sashi is also an avid guitarist and has been part of many jam bands. He currently plays electric guitar and lapsteel for High Horse, a rock/blues/funk band based in Madras.

Sashi is responsible for the company’s overall strategy and the design and development of our offerings.
