About

Creative Producer with 9+ years of experience across OTT, streaming, unscripted, documentary, sports, and promo content. My background sits at the intersection of creative development, production coordination, editorial strategy, post-production, QC, and delivery. I’ve worked on projects linked to Netflix, Prime Video, Bravo, broadcast networks, and international studios - including web series, reality TV, sports content, documentary work, and cross-border productions. What I bring best is the ability to take a project from early creative thinking through execution and final output - aligning story, stakeholders, workflows, and delivery without losing sight of the audience-facing result. Earlier in my career, I worked on promos and AVs for Times Group and Star Sports. More recently, I’ve worked across international documentary and OTT projects involving India, Australia, China, Canada, and the US. Core areas: creative production, promo/editorial development, post-production supervision, stakeholder coordination, QC, delivery workflows, and streaming content.
