I graduated from “Film and Television Institute of India (FTII)”. I was fortunate enough to be selected for a foreign exchange program between FTII and FAMU in Prague, Czech Republic.

To further enhance my film aesthetics and refine my filmmaking skills, I actively participated in various film labs and programs. These included the Kyoto Filmmakers Lab (Masters session), Sundance Collab's Directing Visual Storytelling Program, NAFF Fantastic Film School (Online, 2022 and 2023), Platform Busan, Filmcity-NFDC Marathi Script Lab, and Docedge Kolkata (as an Observer).

In 2016, my short film "Nagraj In Mumbai" emerged as the winner in India's largest 50-hour filmmaking challenge, known as the "India Film Project - IFP". Additionally, my recent short film "Thodi Si Khushi - A Bit of Happiness" has been officially screened at over 75 film festivals, including the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK), International Film Festival South Asia Toronto (IFFSA Toronto) (Canada), KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival (KASHISH MIQFF), Indian Film Festival Stuttgart (Germany), Trans Film Festival Stockholm (Sweden), Jaffna International Cinema Festival (Sri Lanka), Officine Social Movie Awards (Italy),Ottawa Indian Film Festival Awards (OIFFA) (Canada), Something Like Film Festival (Nepal), Kaduna International Film Festival (Nigeria), etc.

My debut project in progress, "Hiranyakashipu - An Elephant of the Blinds", was selected for the Filmcity-NFDC Marathi Script lab in 2021 and was presented at the "Pitch and Meet" event of Platform Busan in 2022.

I contributed creatively to the production of the Malayalam film "Paka - A River of Blood", which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Additionally, I have worked as a Curator and Festival Programming Head for “Patna CineFesta 2024”, a film festival based in the capital city “Patna '' of Bihar state of India.
