July kept the momentum high at RVL as we carried our birthday energy straight into a fresh month! Our Slack channels stayed lively with 8,705 messages, a slight 6.5% dip from June. It was a month of heavy execution as we balanced 10 active projects and successfully wrapped up 1.

Last week, team RVL headed to Bangalore for #vizchitra2026, India's data visualisation conference! Returning for the second year in a row as co-organisers, attendees, volunteers, and proud silver sponsors, we loved reconnecting with old friends and trading ideas with fellow data viz-ards in India.

June was a landmark month for us at RVL—our studio officially turned 3 years old! 🎂
 We had a lot to talk about last month, with 9,319 messages exchanged on Slack—a 59% increase in chatter from May. We balanced 8 running projects, of which we wrapped up 3.

Collaboration is at the core of how we work at Revisual Labs. Over the years, we've worked with journalists, designers, illustrators, developers, writers, data analysts, and the like. And every collaboration has resulted in outputs that are incredibly special.

Last Saturday, Revisual Labs turned 3! 🎂 As we continue to grow, evolve, and share work we are incredibly proud of, we’re also setting some big goals and making three wishes for the year to come.

This week, we’re looking back at 'Reviving the Arkavathi River', a data story we designed & developed for WWF India. A small component of the story, this map visualises variations in the Bashettihalli wetland's water levels over the span of 51 years.

How does one visualise transformation driven by collaboration between multiple stakeholder groups? Our solution was to turn it into a puzzle! As part of a recent project with the Consortium for Agroecological Transformations (CAT), we created a series of puzzles that map out the ecosystem of change.

There is a table showing stakeholders mapped to actions. This was our dataset.

May was all about balancing deep focus in the studio with some much-needed time together. While our Slack channels were considerably quieter this month with 5,829 messages (a 64% drop from April’s record-setting chatter!), the numbers show we were just as productive as ever.

Recently, we partnered with the Consortium for Agroecological Transformations to explore what their key mission — agroecological transformation — really looks like on the ground.

This week's Insight Out is about one of our more recent projects—a scrollytelling segment made for 'Bridging the gap: Building systems to withstand tomorrow’s shocks' with GIZ.

This January, we teamed up with GIZ to communicate the importance of adaptive social protection (ASP)—and why it matters for climate resilience and social protection programmes.

Our team has filled the prize pot with dream projects that inspire us! From wearable dataviz pieces to food-based storytelling, we have a wide range of ideas waiting for the claw to drop. 🕹️

April saw us juggle 10 projects at the studio, kicking off 2 and wrapping up another 2 while steadily working on 6 others. It has been a talkative month, setting a record of 16,155 Slack messages—a whopping 71% increase from March! 💬

Our recent project, ‘The Digital Lives of Young Indians,’ is full of intentional design choices that spark joy every time you spot them. Swipe to spot them all!

For this week’s Insight Out, we go back two years to a diagram made for our Conscious Trends Report 2024 for Godrej Design Lab and CEEW India.

After working with us over the last seven months—first as an intern and later as a contractor—we're very excited to welcome Ipshita as the latest addition to our design team!

March was a big one for us at RVL! 📊 The numbers speak for themselves– we chatted almost twice as much as we did last month and saw a 75% surge in code commits compared to February. We also welcomed our very first dev intern, Brenda!

Choosing a colour palette for our latest project ‘The Digital Lives of Young India’ involved finding the right solution to a series of complex considerations.

What do young Indians use and understand the internet? How do they experience the digital world? These were the questions that Quest Alliance sought to find answers to through a survey involving 220 students and their relationship with the internet and social media.

BildBildBildBild

In many ways, the internet resembles a 'maidan' in India; a vast public space where young people come to reinvent themselves or replicate their lives online.

Last December, we collaborated with Quest Alliance and Oink Oink to create our most detailed, illustrated qualitative research project yet! Stay tuned to learn more.
