Our Story
We grew up in Karad, a quiet town surrounded by nature, where silence has its own language and ideas find room to breathe. That is where we first sat beside each other as kids, sketching in notebooks, sharing doodles and unknowingly planting the first seeds of what would one day become Lightbugs.
For ten years we learned in the same classrooms. After that, life took us in different directions. Nikhil stepped into law and I moved into engineering, yet our love for art and storytelling never faded. Years later, we reunited! Not just as friends, but as creators with a common vision. That vision shaped Lightbugs.
We chose to build our working studio away from the noise in the peace of the countryside. This wasn’t a coincidence. It was intentional. We might be nestled in the countryside, but our ideas have a global reach. The world outside moves fast, but here stillness gives ideas the space they deserve. Here, surrounded by stillness and simplicity, we find space to think deeply, challenge usual and create brands that not only look good but feel right and work well.
Lightbugs was born from friendship, fueled by passion and built for purpose. We’re here to help people and businesses grow with clarity, creativity and confidence. And yes, along the way, we still breathe, meditate, troll and travel together.
Because some stories don’t just grow, they glow!

We’re not hiring.
We’re gathering kindred minds.
If you're the kind who sketches ideas on napkins, asks ‘why not?’ more than ‘why?’ and thrives on doing your best work with good humans: we want to meet you.
Roles change. Culture doesn’t. And if nothing fits, drop in anyway. Magic doesn’t always come labeled.
