Creative Director & Filmmaker | Culture, Food & Human Stories | Pan India Campaigns & Documentary Series

About

I direct and produce stories that live at the intersection of culture, food, and people — from an 8-episode sustainability documentary series (Bengaluru of Tomorrow) to PAN-India campaigns built around concepts like (CP+'s "Upperwala Sab Dekh Raha Hai") and Temples of India for Balaji Agarbatti. My work spans concept to camera: treatment decks, set design, team leadership, on set direction and often stepping in front of the camera myself as host or interviewer. In my creative career , I ran my own production house in Pune (Karigar Studios), working with clients like Byju's, Maya, and Reliance on animated films, motion graphics, and end-to-end video/photo production, to handling social media content creation for FNB brands. I've also worked as a Production Design Assistant on Adhura (Amazon Prime) which gives me the industry edge that is required to get the work done. Right now, I'm moving deeper into long-format, culture-led storytelling — documentary series, travel-and-food narratives, human stories told slowly. I'm also actively building AI-assisted workflows into my process (used Claude and Higgs field to pre-visualize storyboards and camera treatment on a recent shoot), and currently training further in GenAI for creative production. When I'm not on set, I teach Hatha yoga (certified in Rishikesh, 4 years teaching) and paint murals around India.
