With 7 years of immersive experience in the vibrant realms of Indian film and television, coupled with my endeavours in independent projects in Canada, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that spans over music videos, YouTube content, short films and documentaries. My latest venture, the documentary, “Bend or Break,” was not only recognized with the prestigious Best Documentary & Director award at the Calcutta International Film Festival’21 but also clinched the titles of Best Director and Background Score at the Toronto Independent Film Festival’21. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with major networks including The Walt Disney Company, Zee TV, Sony TV, MTV India, and Viacom Media, where I meticulously planned and executed non fiction and fiction shows that resonated with the audience. My passion lies in storytelling, and I thrive on pushing creative boundaries. I am on a continuous journey to reinvent my skills and eagerly embrace new learning opportunities along the way. Let’s connect and explore the endless possibilities of the entertainment world together.
