Vinay Narkar

Vinay Narkar is a production designer and brand consultant. He began his career in the early 1990s—not behind a camera, but stirring two hundred kilos of wheat flour into a thousand liters of water for the perfect soap-milk shot at an internship.


Over the years, Vinay worked across departments in film and television before becoming a senior producer with one of India’s leading production houses. In 2010, he pivoted to production design, collaborating closely with his partner, Niyoti Upadhye.


Together, Vinay and Niyoti founded NVPD, a creative design studio where they’ve taken on diverse and challenging projects over the past decade. Their brand campaigns include notable campaigns like Facebook’s “More Together – Pooja Didi”, Dove’s “Stop the Beauty Test”, Levi’s, Coca-Cola, Myntra, and many others. Their work has earned awards such as Gold at AdFest and Spikes Asia for Pooja Didi, and recognition at the Cannes Lions and Abbys.


Vinay often describes his design philosophy as rooted in the interplay between aesthetics and functionality and is deeply inspired by cultural history and nature’s design lexicon. He credits learning from advertising pioneers and a career spanning over three decades for his creative versatility. Fluent in multiple Indian languages and two foreign languages, he emphasizes that design understanding is enhanced when one transcends cultural borders.
