ABOUT ME
I am a screenplay writer and creative director with over 13 years of experience ranging from writing viral sketches, ad films, to web-series, film scripts and even games. I've gone from working on culture defining content at MTV to breaking the internet with sketches at AIB to making binge-worthy series with Dice Media. As a freelance screenwriter, I now craft stories with reputed production houses such as Banijay India, Emmay Entertainment, and Balaji Motion Pictures. I also double up as an editor and designer, when the situation calls for it. I am a jack of all trades, and a master of some. My work has generated hundreds of millions of views across multiple episodes and platforms, and I am only getting started!
PORTFOLIO
I could tell you about all the work I've done so far, but links speak louder than words.
Phir Se Udd Chala - Series
The team at Zero1 by Zerodha partnered with Dice Media to make a fiction series that made personal finance a part of pop culture, without getting too technical. This led to a story of middle-class frustrations, aspirations, and the risks and rewards of investing vs the zen it takes to actually reach your financial goals.
Clutch - Series
Clutch is India's first Esports web series that I conceptualized and wrote the story for. It is an underdog sports drama where, a ragtag group of gamers from differen backgrounds and different parts of the country put aside their differences to compete in one of India's biggest professional gaming tournaments.

What The Folks is one of Dice Media's most popular web series. I wrote the third season of the show and was the creative director on the fourth season.
