About

I’m a Los Angeles based Screenwriter-Director, who came up in the Indian film industry and now splits her time between LA-BOM, writing and directing multi-format video and audio content. Known for Netflix's breakout, multi-award winning hit "Kaala Paani (Dark Waters)”(2023) and the Kalifilm award winning true-crime feature "Posham Pa” (2019) - my goal is to bring the best of Bombay filmmaking to L.A. and create a slate of unique, emotionally vibrant cinema. My projects have debuted in Netflix's Global Top 10, won multiple Filmfare Awards (India's equivalent to the Oscars), and been feted at national and international film festivals. With experience across streaming platforms, traditional media, and digital marketing - I specialise in creating singular stories with a global resonance. Proudly supported by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Fellowship, Creative Capital Fellowship, the Dean's Fellowship for Academic during my time at Columbia. Open to collaboration opportunities in screenwriting, creative development, and directing. Let’s make some movies! #Screenwriting #FilmProduction #CreativeStorytelling #GlobalMedia
