About Me

Varun Raikar,
Immersive Reality Creator

I am an XR developer based in Bangalore, India. Originally from Hubli, Karnataka, I have always been passionate about leveraging technology to create innovative experiences.


Over the years, my work has been featured by many leading outlets and publications, which has allowed me to connect with a global audience as a AR developer, designer, speaker, and tech advisor, I focus on creating viral effects, face masks, world effects, and interactive games.


My AR journey began at the end of 2019, when I combined my background in freelance graphic design and YouTube video production with my passion for immersive technology. Since then, I have collaborated with big brands and creators like Meta, T-Series, Lenskart, Intuit, Bosch, Oppo, and Discovery, and have built more than 150 personal and branded AR experiences.


My core skills include graphic design, motion design, UI/UX, coding, marketing, and content creation. I believe in using technology to create experiences that are not only visually stunning but also add value to people's lives.


When I'm not creating AR experiences, you can find me exploring new technology trends, working on personal projects, learning music or working out.
