Arnav Anand

Arnav Anand is the founder of Vrindkavi, an independent publishing studio creating graphic novels rooted in Indian mythology, folklore and history. His flagship work includes the Parashuram series of graphic noves, where ancient dilemmas collide with very human choices and consequences don't politely wait until the final page. Parashuram: Blood and Dharma received the Best Comics/Graphic Novel award at the FICCI Best Animated Frames Awards 2025. Arnav has an education in physics, which means he has a lifelong weakness for systems, patterns and the kind of ‘why does this work?' curiosity that also fuels his storytelling. He is based in Delhi, India, and spends most days turning old stories into new panels, one scene, one beat and one stubborn draft at a time.
