About Us
Tenali Rama Animations Private Limited is a brain child of three story tellers based out of Bengaluru. With over 3 decades of contemplating, planning and crafting life’s experiences, the company is established with the vision of re-telling the tales of Itihasas (history) & Puranas of the Land of India through unexplored lenses. Our Vision, much like the law of thermodynamics, is to emphasize that ‘These Tales are neither created by mankind nor can be destroyed, but are simply transformed from one to another by virtue of the 5 sources of life forces – Earth, Fire, Water, Wind & Space’. Every life on this planet is a manifestation of these 5 Life forces and Tenali Rama Animation is here to further pass over this message as yet another conductor of this energy.

Deepa S Pillai
Deepa S Pillai is an Actor, Bharatanatyam Dancer, Choreographer and a Hatta Yoga Practitioner, based out of Planet Earth 😊. An Engineer turned Performing Artiste, she holds a Masters’ degree from New York University’ Tisch school of Arts as her most recent one. Her interest is to decode the magical bond between storytelling and Life and how the Former becomes the root to the latter’s existence. Art is one of the interesting dimensions through which stories are sown in the minds and therefore humans, are both ephemeral blocks as well as eternal threads that weave-in the fabric of a Belief, a Culture, a Nation. She aspires to create stories of life experiences as they emerge and in the process become an archive of Memories transcending time.
