While numbers are often at the heart of what we do at Revisual Labs, sometimes the stories we tell don't have numbers in them.

Ideas and Thoughts My thoughts on data visualisation, entrepreneurship, and everything in between. My corner on the internet.

Going the POSSE way. Have moved snippets from my tweeting history and LinkedIn onto my own site (thank you Claude Code). Tone and language is mine from ages ago. Tech copy pasting done by LLMs. Slowwwwly populating it.

Terrified (husband has been joking I am nervous of my Friday movie release) and excited at the same time. My course for @albertocairo.com's Open Visualization Academy went out today. openvisualizationacademy.org/courses/the-...

A reminder that we are adding a new course to the Open Visualization Academy per month. We'll release 'The Craft of Building Stories with Data' by @chartwaali.bsky.social TOMORROW.

(We have 12+ courses at different stages of production!)

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Once is a test, twice is a habit. To mark the end of 2025, we’re making a habit out of reflecting on our growth as a team through this second edition of Our Year In Numbers.

VizChitra 2025 Highlights | India's first community-run Data Visualisation Conference YouTube video by VizChitra

What started as a chat over gobhi ke parathe has grown into VizChitra, India’s first community-run data visualization conference📈🎉

Here’s a peek at #VizChitra2025 in action👀 — the hands, minds & stories that made it all come alive 💡📊

Today, @vonter.bsky.social and I launched cbfc.watch, an archive of over 100k censorship records for ~18k movies released in India since 2017. For the first time, you can search for any movie and see how they were modified before release.

The site is fun to explore, but here's some #dataviz in it!

Team RVL met at Bangalore to attend @vizchitra.bsky.social (India’s first dataviz conference) and to celebrate our studio’s 2-year birthday + IIB Awards win! We spent the weekend with our full-time team and almost every contractor who has worked with us over the years 🎂

Our website has a new chart gallery! 📈📊📉

You can now browse through almost every chart from all our projects & filter them by chart function. Whether you’d like to draw inspiration, explore our projects, or just because you love charts. Stop by revisual.co/chart-gallery/ & look around! 👀

Coming back from Miami where @datavizsociety.bsky.social hosted their annual conference Outlier and the Information is Beautiful awards. Absolutely ecstatic about @revisual.co winning Silver for "Outstanding Studio". We celebrated the award and our two year anniversary on the same day. :)

Next at #outlier2025 is @chartwaali.bsky.social with her learnings about collaboration and setting up a successful (multi IIB award-nominated) company

Very excited that I will be visiting Miami for Outlier and the IIB awards this year. @revisual.co has two shortlisted entires, and I will be diving deep into the behind the scenes of one of them for this talk. But mostly very excited to learn and be inspired from some lovely people!

In data visualization design, we often assume the goal is to minimise the effort required to 'see' the data. And that adding support a title and annotation is the route to memorability.

But sometimes making something more effortful achieves memorability and understanding more effectively...

Videoconferencing image of Gurman Bhatia smiling with Francis Gagnon in a vignette. The title is Francis and Gurman catch up.

Finally caught up with @chartwaali.bsky.social, founder of @revisual.co. We have those talks about once a year, but we should have more.

She's curious, a good listener, a born information designer and an important person in the dataviz field; someone who does great things and will do more.

you both are very kind!

The image features a modern, minimalistic design with a white background. The text in the center reads: "DATA IS THE NEW OIL SOIL, SO WHAT WILL YOU GROW?" The word "OIL" is crossed out and replaced with "SOIL," emphasizing a shift in perspective. The word "GROW" is in large, bold letters. Below, in smaller text, it says: "We’re creating something special. Stay tuned." The design includes geometric lines in pastel shades of orange, blue, and pink, connected by dark circular nodes, creating a structured yet dynamic layout.

Four months ago, some of the coolest minds on the Indian internet asked: If data is the new soil, what will you grow?

That’s how @vizchitra.bsky.social was born. Now, we’re ready to share it with the world.

What is it? Who are we? What are we creating?

Stay tuned to find out! 🌱
