Manvendra Singh
A storyteller driven by a deep conviction that the world needs stories rooted in truth, heroism, and meaning. Manvendra founded Tribal Gorilla to build original IP universes from India for global audiences.
His creative vision draws from Indian mythology, historical fiction, and magical realism. Genres he believes hold untold stories of civilisational scope waiting to reach the world.
With AI as a creative amplifier, he's building what was previously impossible for a small team. A connected universe at the scale of Marvel and the Mahabharata combined.
"When supply becomes infinite, the scarce resource becomes conviction. A coherent way of interpreting reality that people choose to align with."
A small, AI-powered team producing what previously required a studio of hundreds. Plus a network of AI animators for the series.
