• Tina’s World is a storytelling universe I am creating for children - where stories, art and imagination come together. It began as a series of story-and-drawing books that invite children not just to read, but to enter the story and create within it.
• The project is gradually expanding into a larger narrative ecosystem including books, audio storytelling and interactive creative spaces.
• My dream is to build environments where children can explore stories through art, curiosity and play - experiencing storytelling not just as something they consume, but as a world they can step into and shape.

• Teaching has been an integral part of my journey since 2000, when I began my first batch at Xavier Institute of Communications (XIC). Over the years I have worked with institutions including Whistling Woods, SRFTII, Visva-Bharati, MET and Don Bosco, mentoring young filmmakers and storytellers. It is deeply rewarding to see many former students now working across platforms, studios and production houses—often as serious decision-makers shaping the next generation of content.
