| Bio | Hello! Current whereabouts: I’m currently working as an assistant writer for a feature film, remotely and in Mumbai. My debut screenplay Mirror Mirror (2024), co-written with director Loveena Bagga, advanced to Stage 1 of the SWA Script Lab 2024, placing among the top 5% of entries. Genres I’m drawn to: Off-beat stories, highly localised worlds, the eerie, the absurd, and corporate horror (think Cthulhu in Deloitte :P). What I’m looking for: I believe creative communities thrive on collaboration and generosity. If you’d like someone to read your script and share written feedback, review your pitch deck with a designer’s eye, or simply be an accountability partner while you work on your spec script, feel free to reach out. These are collaborative exchanges, free of charge, with the hope of building lasting and wholesome creative communities in this uphill climb. |

| Experience | I have a background in design, with a Bachelor’s in Design from NIFT (Gandhinagar) and a Postgraduate degree in Visual Communication from Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology (Bangalore). Before moving into film, I worked for nearly a decade across corporates and startups, leading teams and working across marketing, UI/UX, and R&D functions. In the film industry, I’ve worked as an Art Director for advertisements, an Assistant Director, and in post-production for both ads and features. I’ve basically been the go-to get-shit-done person on and off set. I’m associated as a writer with Adhyah Moving Pictures (Ludhiana) and have previously interned with Little Lambs Films Pvt. Ltd. (Mumbai). |
