About Me

Hello and welcome!
I’m so glad you’ve stopped by.
I was born in the quiet, green town of Palakkad in Kerala and raised in the cultural intensity of Kolkata, West Bengal. That contrast, calm and chaos, shaped me early. I grew up watching how environment changes perspective. Dance and theatre became my first languages. They taught me how people move, how emotion travels, and how stories can shift a room.
At 17, I moved to Delhi to study Mass Media and Mass Communication at Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi. That move was my first lesson in independence. By 2004, I was in Mumbai, working as an assistant producer on India’s first dance reality show for Sony Television. It was fast, unpredictable and alive, and I knew I wanted to spend my life building stories that connected people at scale.
Over the years, my work has taken me across genres, cultures and continents. I’ve written, produced and directed everything from entertainment formats like Koffee with Karan and MAD to documentaries for the BBC and National Geographic. No matter the scale, I’ve always been drawn to stories that explore identity, culture and human connection. Storytelling, for me, isn’t just about visibility. It’s about representation. It’s about shaping how we see each other. I’m interested in what sits beneath the surface. What does this story say about us? Who does it represent?
In my early thirties, I moved from India to Singapore. It was my first experience of rebuilding life in a new country. New audiences, new teams, new expectations. It stretched me creatively and personally. I learnt how to adapt quickly while holding onto my core instincts. Later, at The Walt Disney Company, I worked across Southeast Asia, balancing creative ambition with commercial realities and learning how global brands translate across cultures.
A few years later, I chose to move again. Australia became home. Changing countries twice reshapes you in ways you don’t anticipate. Each move strips away familiarity and forces you to rebuild your network, your rhythm and your sense of belonging. It deepens your empathy. You begin to understand systems not just as structures, but as lived experiences. You become more attuned to nuance and to the invisible barriers people navigate every day.
Alongside my professional work, community has always mattered to me. From tutoring underprivileged children in Delhi to volunteering with NGOs in Singapore, I’ve consistently invested time in social and environmental causes. It’s not separate from my career. It informs it.
Today, I work in the not-for-profit space, leading marketing and communications for a multicultural organisation supporting diverse communities. I’m not volunteering here in Australia, but this role fulfils the same instinct that has guided me for years. The will to contribute. To strengthen communication so it feels inclusive and culturally aware. To build systems that serve people with dignity. To improve not just the story, but the structure around it.
Throughout my life, I’ve moved between the micro and the macro. Between individual stories and broader frameworks. Between creative expression and operational clarity. Whether I’m building a television format, a digital ecosystem or a communications strategy, the intention remains the same. I want the work I do to improve something. A conversation. A community. A way of doing things.
My journey has taken me across cities and industries, but the thread remains the same. Build thoughtfully. Tell honestly. Leave things better than you found them. Make it clearer. Make it kinder. Make it work.
If you’re here as a creator, employer or simply curious, welcome. I’m always open to thoughtful conversations and meaningful collaborations.
