We spoke to Anshulika Dubey, Co-Founder | Strategy at Wishberry.in about crowd funding.
Srinivas Sunderrajan, a bassist in a metal band and an innovative filmmaker, wanted to make a movie called the Greater Elephant. Based on a mahout who has lost his elephant, a faithless constable, a fangless Dracula (and many others), Greater Elephant delves into the hunt for something significant and meaningful. Vasuda Sharma, an artist who rose to fame in her earlier days at Aasma, the famous Channel V band, went on to study at the Berklee College of Music. Her dream was to get artists from across the globe together and produce an album that brought to life a fusion of western and classical music—Stay Attuned.
What was obstructing both these artists from realising their dreams? Money. Srinivas lacked funds to market his movie or sell it to theatres and the distribution of Greater Elephant largely restricted to friends and family. Vasuda needed the money to hire the right music technology and bring together all the people she wanted in the album. Similarly, many other creative and innovative people in this country face the problem of limited funding and most ideas die without having a chance to be implemented.

Born and raised in Mumbai, Arjava has a Bachelors degree in Mass Media with a specialization in Advertising. His first stints in the advertising field were summer internships at Ogilvy and Euro RSCG. Arjava joined FoxyMoron in 2009 as a junior visualizer when the team comprised of not less than 5 people. Currently, as the Creative Director at FoxyMoron, Arjava’s responsibilities include conceptualizing and executing strategic and integrated campaigns in the digital marketing space. When not busy in front of his Mac, he can be found planning a holiday he seldom takes or in front of the TV watching his beloved Manchester United.
Why are you into Digital?
I guess it chose me more than I chose it. I originally joined Foxy as a print designer but as they say, necessity is the mother of invention. One day, our digital designer was backed up so I pitched in and made my first website layout. It was absolutely terrible, but I loved working on it.
Did you attend school for fine art or design or Communications?
I had a course on design in college but that’s about it. I’ve pretty much taught myself everything I know about design, by constantly researching, practicing, screwing up & fixing it. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it’s the only way I’ve known.

Why are you an Illustrator?
I draw because it gives me immense joy. I draw for this simple reason everyday. With a sketchbook and a box of travel watercolours, I doodle and create. I find inspiration in the happenings of everyday. I strongly believe in the simple joys and know that many of our lives go by, doing things for the head rather than the heart. My sketchbooks are a way to document my life and record the thoughts that cloud my mind on certain days. On others they are a mirror to what I feel.
