Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
I’m a Mumbai/Delhi–based film and OTT professional with 17 years of experience across long-format fiction, series and advertising. I’ve led complex productions as a 1st Assistant Director and worked closely with directors, writers and producers across development, pre-production and execution. Alongside my on-set leadership, I work as a director and creative collaborator, with a focus on performance-driven storytelling, grounded emotional conflict and culturally rooted narratives. My work spans directing short-form and branded narrative pieces, as well as contributing creatively at the development stage on fiction and digital projects. I’m currently open to directing opportunities, as well as senior creative roles with studios and production houses - including creative producer, development or in-house positions and selective project-based collaborations where my experience across storytelling and execution can add value.
