He has also worked for Aggregate Entertainment, Mandalay Sports Media, and Rogue Initiative Studios, all based in Los Angeles during his course of time pursuing MFA at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

As of late, Vigneshwar is a part of the producing team for an Epic Mega Grant winning project, Lightfall. As well as this, he is also working on a Sci-Fi feature film concept which is in the development stages.
Despite his success, Vigneshwar does not forget his roots and his inspiration. Coming from a family of teachers, he taught in a public school in Mumbai for Grades 6 and 7 for two years.

His hobbies include reading fantasy and science fiction novels, enjoying the outdoors, writing scripts, and working on his own creative projects, and participating in educational volunteering activities.
