Open to new ideas! Love to explore and dream!

After graduating from an IIT and working in corporate jobs for 1.5 years, I quit my job and backpacked across India and South east Asia for 18 months on a budget of Rs 300/day. I learnt a lot about myself during the journey and discovered my love for meeting strangers and telling unheard stories from lands unknown.

I recently finished working on a three year long documentary film project called Borderlands (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNahqnBZM4o) and I am currently shooting a documentary on Women Ice Hockey in Ladakh and Himachal.
