Asvin Srivatsangam

Asvin Srivatsangam is an Indian-American comic book creator/ writer turned publisher.^[1] As a creator he partnered with Ashok Rajagopalan to create Dynast:The Rise of Bherek White and Neelakshi:The Quest for Amrit. He lives in California.

In 2012 he founded Yali Dream Creations, a comic book company. A few months later, he hired Shamik Dasgupta to create the company's first graphic novel. The Caravan is the first graphic novel published in print by Yali Dream Creations and widespread distribution in India.

Ashok Rajagopalan says "He was an young adult or an early teen or something. I was an illustrator of children's books with a vague dream of being a writer one day. Asvin wanted to do his own comic book one day and showed me drawings he had done about a character he had created: Bherek White, Dynast. He had also drawn some of Bherek's family members. Most amazing, he had drawn a detailed map of the world they inhabited, with numerous cities, towns and regions marked! That was most impressive. I remember thinking that this is one hard worker...

Now, many decades later, we see the possibility of his creations becoming real in the world of books, television and movies. I never dreamt that I would be writing his stories! I'm delighted to be associated with this, and I enjoy writing dynast."
