ABOUT US

From a childhood spent chasing wild trails to two decades of creating visual stories, Varun’s journey is rooted in passion and creativity. As the Director of his own production house, he has honed expertise in VFX, 3D animation, post-processing, and design, shaping world-class visuals with over 20 years of industry experience. Beyond the screen, his heart lies in the wild, raising questions of conservation, ethics, and human accountability, and constantly seeking ways to bridge technology with nature’s truth.

Growing up with a deep love for wildlife, where even snakes were a natural part of childhood, Vrusha’s bond with the wild has always been instinctive. A Creative Director by profession, she brings 13 years of expertise in 2D and 3D animation, with a specialization in IP development. Alongside her creative journey, she actively contributes to conservation, serving as a reviewer for eBird and leading the All-Women Nature Walks in Mumbai. With a firm belief that humanity’s survival depends on returning to traditions rooted in nature, she continues to champion ecological balance through both her professional and personal pursuits.

We’re Varun and Vrusha, partners in life, work, and our love for the wild. After years in the animation industry, we chose to leave behind city life and make Koyna our home, where forests, rivers, and wildlife are still alive. Rove Jungli is our way of living closer to nature, asking questions about conservation and ethics, and sharing traditions rooted in the wild. Together, we hope to inspire others to slow down, reconnect, and discover their own bond with nature.

Today, our team brings together naturalists, local friends from Koyna, and everyone in between who shares our love for the wild. We’re united by one simple belief: that conservation is inseparable from community, culture, and the livelihoods of those who call Koyna home.
