Jagreuben believes good work should leave more behind than just a finished shot or a paid invoice. Whatever he builds — a render, a track, a business — he tries to make sure some of it finds its way back out into the world around him.
That instinct traces back to Dasvandh, a Sikh practice of giving a share of what you earn back to your community, which he grew up around. He's carried the spirit of it forward in his own way — less a rule he follows, more a habit he's chosen: be honest, be useful to people, and don't keep everything for yourself.
