I was commissioned by the Epic channel in India to create a series of 13 animated shorts called, 'Itihaas Ki Thaali Se' (From the Platter of History). Collaborating with a team of animators, I researched, developed and directed the series which explored the origins of Indian recipes and cuisines. The series was also acquired by Netflix (India).

These excerpts showcase three of the shorts.
