Trained in cinematography at Mindscreen Film Institute, his early years were shaped alongside director Rajiv Menon, learning what makes a frame matter. That instinct took him through Mumbai’s ad industry, shooting over fifty commercials, into a digital marketing venture, and toward co-founding a boutique color studio for independent filmmakers, where he also conceived the Independent Voices - Color & Picture Finishing Grant. He is now building a media studio around AI filmmaking, working on the question of who gets to tell stories and how.
