For a platform as diverse as Hotstar, with users spread across different regions, languages, and traditions, these touches go a long way in making the experience feel personal and celebratory.
Designed and animated these visuals which were then implemented on the app using Lotties.
A few of my favourites below.
I worked extensively on optimising these animations for performance, so the celebratory feel never came at the cost of the app's speed or smoothness, even on match day, when traffic is at its peak.
The centrepiece is the "78th" rendered in the colours of the tricolour. Surrounding it is a burst of geometric rays, evoking the sunrise of a new India.
The frame is structured around a layered architectural border inspired by classical Indian pillars, a subtle reference to the Constitution and the democratic foundations of the republic. At each corner, the Ashok Chakra anchors the design, grounding it in national identity. The intricate lattice-work and dotted motifs woven throughout draw from the tradition of rangoli — a form of folk art found in homes across the country during every celebration, bringing warmth and familiarity to what could otherwise have been a purely formal composition.
From there, the animation transitions into the Disney+ Hotstar logo, which emerges with a luminous glow, tying the achievement back to the brand’s magical visual direction. Confetti fills the space around it, bringing a sense of joy and occasion to what is ultimately a shared celebration between the platform and its users.

Being an IC in the team meant I would take on projects from start to end, building scripts and flows from scratch, then moving to designing frames and then to animation, sound and edit.
A few of those videos below.
The process began with a deep dive into the system: understanding how everything fits, from palette choices that ensure brand consistency and accessibility, to smart use of typography and micro-interactions that make the app feel intuitive and engaging. After finalising the script and direction, I worked on a few styleframes to set the tone that the video will have.
I collaborated with the Soul Design System team to understand the ins and outs of the system better and to decide which highlights would best tell Soul’s story. Shoutout to Vivek and Shreeram for their inputs on the overall story and flow of the video!r millions of users.
The promo video for MaxView was designed to introduce this brand new vertical cricket viewing experience. Purpose-built for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 when the feature was rolled out to the greater set of audience, the task was to highlight feature offerings in a crisp promo video which will run during the live stream.

PS : I was not involved in the logo design which got finalised.
