About

Comedy writing isn't just my job, it's how I see the world. I'm one of the writers behind The Great Indian Kapil Show, where I get to craft jokes that hopefully make people forget their Monday blues (even if it's a Wednesday). My writing journey has taken me from the energy of live stage performances to the endless scroll of YouTube and web shows. These days, you'll find me obsessing over the perfect 30-second Reel that makes someone laugh out loud on their commute home. I'm always excited to collaborate on branded content that doesn't feel like an ad, fiction that surprises you, or any creative project that needs a fresh perspective. Whether it's for digital platforms, OTT, or something we haven't even thought of yet—I'm in. Because at the end of the day, the best compliment isn't just a like or share. It's when someone watches your content twice. That's what we're aiming for. Ready to brainstorm? Let's talk.
