August is a communications agency led by Vivek Dhyani, Ambar Sharan Lal and myself (Manish Bhatt). It’s been around since 2006. Over the years we have serviced accounts like IFFCO Tokio, Times OOH, Pizza Hut Delivery, Barista, Spice Mobility and Conscient Group.
What made you start August Communications?
The three of us had worked together at the beginning of our careers. While Vivek and Ambar kept on working in mainstream advertising, and getting longer and longer job titles, I had started dabbling with start-ups by 2002. By 2006, Vivek and I were already old friends with a common love for Old Monk and Hindi Poetry, both of us a little jaded with regular jobs. So we decided to quit our jobs to start this creative outfit called ‘Sex Creatives’. I guess we just wanted to work at our own pace and have some fun in the process. Our first office was Vivek’s living room. Then, to our surprise, we started getting business. A few hundred bounced mails later, we changed our name to August Communications. Soon, Ambar joined us to take care of the business end.
When you take of your eyes, you take of her eyes.

Karan Singh is an illustrator from Sydney, Australia currently working and living in New York City. His eclectic style has seen him work with a diverse group of clients and initiate a number of self-initiated projects.
Why are you an Illustrator?
Because it makes me happy!
Did you attend school for fine art or design?
Kind of. The degree I studied had more of a focus on interaction design, so anything from designing websites to immersive installations. I was introduced to Illustrator and Photoshop at uni and fell in love. I spent a lot of my spare time teaching myself to use them and haven’t looked back since.
