Subhabrata Ghosh (SG)
CEO
Celsius100 Consulting, India
Rajeev has an amazing creative mind. Rooted in reality and smart in execution, his ability to create solutions and communicate them with clarity and explain the ease of execution always made him a sought-after creative talent.
His maturity, and ability to understand business and consumer issues and find simple but surprising solutions earned him huge respect from all who interacted with him. Nonintrusive but firm in his conviction it's always easy to work with him. He is fast and incisive in this thinking and a perfectionist in execution. Always a preferred creative partner.Ravi Shankar K

Younion, Singapore
Rajeev Neduraman is a diligent technologist whose biggest strength is his ability to hack together a creative solution. We'd often throw a challenge/requirement at him and he'd get back with a very convincing, low-cost, workable solution. On the other hand, he is a man willing to accept and embrace responsibility which is a natural attribute for anyone aspiring to lead. Starting out as a one-man team, he grew to lead a 7 people, multidisciplinary team. He is intelligent, intellectual, and a delight to socialize with. When he choose to depart, we knew that we were losing a rare example of a 'complete package'.
Subhas Desai
Founder & CEO
Markiverse, Hyderabad, India
Rajeev is always bubbling with ideas. All you have to do is just give him the topic and he is already done with the plot and design in his mind. A quick thinker and close observer, he cuts through the clutter to give his customers exactly what they want and beyond that. At TechM, I worked with him very closely and never I faced a challenge - be it script, footage, or turnaround time. As a client, I always got much more than what I had expected. He has been a guiding force for me after I moved out of TechM as well. He brings a wealth of experience in every sphere of marketing communications.

Neville Medhora
Chief Transformation Officer
ADK Global, India
Rajeev is the quintessential go-to man when it comes to anything visual. Not only is he solution-orientated, but is also neck-deep into techniques, angles, and technicalities which you would expect from a senior creative person. It helps immensely that he has a keen eye for detail and framing, his photography allows him the added advantage of seeing a project creatively! He is also someone who can make things happen, the end product is a visual delight but doesn't stray commercially or from the brief.
Project Highlights
Fight for Territory - DDB & JCDecaux
Steinlager, an official partner of the All Blacks, leveraged the hype of the 2017 British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand by working with rival sponsor Guinness on an interactive "Fight for Territory" campaign at Auckland Airport. With innovative tech, 65 digital screens responded dynamically to fans, changing before their eyes as they stood in front of them.
Interactive Installation for Museum of Design Atlanta
This was a traveling exhibit showcasing Green building technology. My role was to document and create visual stories of people living and working in such green buildings. I was also involved in the installation and maintenance of the interactive screens in this exhibit.
Data-driven DOOH Campaign for Corona Beer
We built Corona a widget tracking snowfall rate, which dynamically switched the creative when more than 15cm fell at selected winter hotspots. Generic messaging transformed into an ‘Epic Snow Alert’, capturing the attention and excitement of snow lovers all over the country.
Data-driven DOOH Campaign for Sylvia Park
The objective was to promote Sylvia Park as an easy to access destination. The widget tapped into the API feed of Sylvia Park's parking and dynamically updated the display on the billboards.
Mosaic Video Wall for Huffer Brand Stores
I designed a custom After Effects template to format the videos to fit the layout. Once this template was set up, the Huffer creative team rendered the video through the After Effects project to play them correctly on the video wall.
Fortune Telling Kiosk for CtrlS Data Centres India
The objective was to promote the product amongst resellers. The root of this idea were fortune telling machines on Indian train stations which punched out cards with your fortune along with your weight, when you stood on a platform before it. In this case, it was the resellers fortune!
Interactive Kiosk Games
This idea was based on the angry bird game. The objective was to promote the use of genetically modified plants that have the power to resist pests and diseases. The game was connected to a leaderboard and at the end of the expo, prizes were given for high scores.
AR project for CRY India fund raising project
We used Augmented Reality to promote a fund raising campaign for CRY a not for profit organisation in India. The trigger image was the poster promoting this campaign. It came alive when the app was pointed at the poster.
3D Printed Robot for Accenture India Innovation Week
This was a 3D printed robot that automatically took selfies based on voice commands and could be controlled over bluetooth to navigate a maze. We ran a competition where the fastest through the maze won prizes.
Content creation for 3D Projects
I was responsible for translating flat blueprints into dynamic 3D animations incorporating motion graphics elements to tell the story of a building or property. These were used by the promoters in their marketing. The above presentation was created for a Japanese client for use in a trade show.
3D without Glasses
I am a Certified 3D Content Creator and I was trained by Magnetic3D on their technology. At Prism we put together a Kiosk product that was a combination of an interactive wayfinding screen at the bottom and a 3D screen on top displaying brand messaging. I also trained a team of 3D animators in India to produce content for these screens.
