I have always gravitated towards stories with strong human angles. Be it remote schools for girls in some of the poorest districts in India, the lure of the wide open in the Raan of Kutch, or the mystical dance ritual of Theyam performed in dead of night in Kerala, what fascinates is the human element in these stories.
The language of the moving image has intrigued me ever since I got my hands on a Canon 5D. That was back in 2007 while I was working as a photojournalist. Since then, I’ve been dabbling in films while continuing projects in photography.
In 2012 I began a freelance career in documentary film, producing short features for Euronews Television, France. Over the years, I’ve researched, directed, interviewed, shot and edited short documentary features across India as a solo video journalist
My interest in the process of filmmaking lies in researching for story and then working with rushes in the quiet confines of an editing suite, where I believe films are actually made. I love collaborating with filmmakers, ideate and editing to bring stories to life.
If you are looking for an editor with a deep understanding and reverence for Story, let’s talk over coffee. And thanks to the internet, distance is no longer an obstacle for collaboration.

A rolling stone. That could sum up my career projectile. I’ve tried to not gather moss, (or cobwebs) and have been out learning new tricks, seeking new adventure, and moving boundaries.
At the core, I’ve always loved storytelling – first writing for the school magazine. At the turn of the millennium, I joined an English daily to head the web edition. During this 7-year newspaper stint, I coded the website, redesigned the print edition, wrote features for the Sunday edition and produced photo-documentaries for print and web editions.
Then in 2007, at the start of the DSLR revolution, I felt compelled to test the waters in video. Soon I was travelling across India producing video features for France-based Euronews Television.
Working with other film-makers as editor, I realised I loved finding connections, and helping bring stories to life. In the dark confines of the edit suite, I found new adventures pursing through hours of rushes, building sequences. So I turned my attention to documentary film editing.
Recently, I’ve added colour grading as one more tool in the process of telling stories through film.
Today, at the White Brick Post – a boutique post-production studio I set up in my home town, I love helping other documentary and indie filmmakers bring their stories to life.
