Ted Price chats with
Guha and Karthik Bala,
brothers who founded both Velan Studios
and Vicarious Visions. Together they
discuss their incredible journey in games beginning with the
founding of Vicarious Visions while they were both in high school
and into their new venture at Velan Studios; their approach to
problem solving; how failure leads to positive outcomes; and what
they learned at MIT that helped them think in unexpected
ways.
Guha and Karthik founded Velan Studios which is known for
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and
the recently released Knockout City. They also founded
Vicarious Visions which developed
the Skylanders
series as well as several titles in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series,
and Crash Bandicoot
series.
