I am a writer, director and producer from Goa, India. I have worked on film and multimedia across genres over the past 14 years.
After an undergraduate degree in Economics from SRCC (Delhi University) and a Master’s in Mass Comm from AJKMCRC Jamia, I founded A Little Anarky Films, one of Delhi’s leading production and content studios. Over the years, as head of Anarky, I hired and worked with over a 100 brilliant creative team members. I ran a performing arts venue and community space called BedlamDelhi from 2016-2020. I am the co-founder of Open Door Docs, an organisation for women in Indian Documentary Film. I have served as a Chair of Jury, mentor and grant reviewer at several film funds and organisations.
My projects have received grants and prizes from Sundance Institute, IDFA, HotDocs Canada, SFFILM, Catapult Film Fund, DOK Leipzig and Al Jazeera. I have pitched at Sheffield MeetMarket, Hot Docs Forum, DokLeipzig, Docs By The Sea and Visions Du Reel with my various films.
I am currently the Program Director of SSP Asia at Video Consortium, funded by Skoll Foundation.
