Paperboat Animation Studio is based in Mumbai. It is not only into animation but equally into live action, print, etc. too. Saumitra Ranade, Mayank Patel, and Aashish Mall are the three heads of the studio. The major works done by the studio include the live-action film Jajantaram Mamantaram, the animation film Gopi gawaiya, Bagha Bajaiya, the animated series Karadi Tales, Lal buzakkad, and a number of children’s books.

The task was to create a new story and illustrate it to make a book out of it. As I had already illustrated two books, I challenged myself by putting a few restrictions on myself and developing something I had never done before. I restricted myself to children’s books, as I have never done that before and was afraid of doing that, as I never thought that way. My earlier books were made for adults.
