About Tarun Sridharan: Tarun Sridharan is an Indian-American litigator, marketing professional, and creative — and the sole creator of Odd Compass, an animated YouTube channel focusing heavily on South and Southeast Asian history.  Born and raised in the United States, he has lived (mostly) abroad since 2015 and currently splits his time between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Bangalore, India.

Tarun first became interested in history and regional heritage thanks to his family in Hyderabad, whose weekend activities include loitering around old, abandoned temples and digging up Kakatiya-era artifacts. As a member of the Indian diaspora, he understands well the connection between storytelling and identity, and how our histories can deeply impact how we perceive ourselves.
