As BOT VFX continues to deepen its creative leadership, we are excited to announce the newest addition to our leadership team: Sriram, who joins us as the Associate Creative Department Head – Compositing.
seasoned VFX professional with an 18-year journey rooted in visual storytelling, Sriram hails from Chennai and began his career at Prasad EFX. His path led him through major industry players including Reliance MediaWorks, Rhythm & Hues, Prime Focus, and a nearly decade-long stint at Moving Picture Company (MPC)—where he contributed to large-scale, high-impact projects for global audiences.
“Sriram joins our team at an exciting time when we are pushing the envelope in offering higher-end creative services to our clients and strategically multi-skilling our team,” shares Deepak Bohra, Co-founder, BOT VFX. “With over two decades of international project experience, he will add value to our client shows and at the same time mentor and guide our growing Creative team.”
Sriram’s expertise spans the technical and artistic spectrum of compositing. Whether it’s the visually complex CG environments of Aquaman – The Lost Kingdom, which involved an average of 24 deep CG layers, or the precise, uninterrupted stitching of long plates in 1917, Sriram’s approach has always been grounded in thoughtful process-building. He reflects, “What I learned was to set up the right process that will give the desired results over time. The process is as important as the results.”
His arrival at BOT is timely, as we continue our transformation into a studio known not just for its execution excellence, but for its creative leadership.
“BOT VFX warmly welcomes Sriram as the new Creative Department Head of our Compositing department,” says Anand Rajagopal, Chief Operating Officer, BOT VFX. “His impressive track record and deep expertise in the VFX industry, including managing complex shows for large clients, promise to bring invaluable insights. He will significantly contribute to this transformational journey for BOT VFX.”
Known for his calm, composed demeanour and team-first mindset, Sriram has always prioritized giving his artists the time and mental space to thrive. His ideal day is structured yet flexible: “Start at 9 am and let it end as and when possible.” As a Comp Supervisor, he typically organizes the day to provide six hours of uninterrupted Nuke time, complemented by review sessions spaced thoughtfully across the day.
Shaswati Choudhary, Head of Training & Development at BOT, adds, “Welcome to BOT VFX, where joining the team means becoming part of a vibrant creative community. Here, innovation is fueled by imagination, and every frame reflects a shared passion for storytelling. We’re thrilled to have you with us, and I can’t wait to see the magic we’ll create together.”
Sriram believes that while technology like AI may help accelerate processes, human creativity remains unmatched. A cricket enthusiast—both on the field and off—he finds joy in simple things, whether it’s watching a game or solving a comp challenge that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
As he steps into this important leadership role, we’re excited to see the knowledge he’ll share, the innovations he’ll inspire, and the creative magic he’ll help unlock.
Welcome to BOT, Sriram!
