Pratik Patra — CEO

“I seldom end up where I want to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.” - Douglas Adams. Story of my life. Dropped out of IIT Kharagpur. Landed in Bombay with nothing but a hunch. No film school. No roadmap. Just picked up a camera and started saying yes to things I didn’t know how to do yet. Ended up spending seven years at Camera And Shorts. Directed Alma Matters for Netflix: a documentary about the same IIT system I walked out of. Then came Superteens, a crypto-fuelled fever dream with teenagers and startups. And Gaming Insaan a reality series about Triggered Insaan trying to become pro gamer. Every project was a pressure cooker. I stayed in the heat. I don’t love the word “filmmaker.” I just like building things that make people feel something. Stories. Systems. People. I like diving in when things are half-baked and pulling something alive out of the fire.
