Bio

I’m a film editor based in Mumbai, working across fiction and non-fiction for over a decade. I graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India, where I specialised in Film Editing, and have since collaborated on several films that have screened and won awards at major international festivals.

My most recent work, Sabar Bonda (Cactus Pears), directed by Rohan Parshuram Kanawade, became the first Marathi feature to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival (2025), and went on to win the Grand Jury Prize – Dramatic — the first Indian film to do so. I was a co-editor on Netflix’s Murder in a Courtroom: Indian Predator (2022), directed by Umesh Kulkarni, with lead editor Monish R Baldawa.

Other editing credits include the National Award-winning Borderlands (Best Editing, 2020), Ralang Road (Karlovy Vary IFF, 2017), Mor Mann Ke Bharam (Jury Special Prize, MAMI 2015), and shorts like Holy Curse (Best Short Narrative, Tasveer 2024), Detour (MAMI Jury Special Prize 2017), and Daaravtha (National Award for Best Debut Director, 2015).

I’ve also worked on several non-fiction films with Camera and Shorts, including The Unreserved (National Award, Best On-location Sound, 2017), In Search of Rhythm, and Kazwa: A Million Lanterns.

In addition to editing, I also produce films under HumanTrail Pictures and One by One Motion Pictures.
