Executive Biography

Architecting Stories From Concept to Screen

Bridging creative vision with strict administrative governance, international film diplomacy, and cutting-edge production workflows.

Currently serving as the Deputy Manager for Indian Film Production at the National Film Development Corporation Ltd (NFDC), integral team member of team that leads feature films, documentaries, animation series, and international co-production agreements. The role involves end-to-end production governance, managing legal and financial frameworks, and aligning multi-million rupee artistic endeavors with national cultural policy.

Since 2011, my career encompasses over a decade and a half directing more than 100 corporate and non-corporate productions nationwide, including three commercially released Malayalam feature films that received both critical accolades and passionate audience followings.

My expertise spans the entire value chain of modern entertainment: from initial screenwriting, casting, and performing as an actor, to hands-on editing, post-production supervision, international film festival curation, and viral digital platform growth. In the digital entertainment landscape, my work as a Content Creator and Actor across YouTube web series and micro-dramas has amassed over 150 Million Plus views through precision, data-informed storytelling.

"Grounded in production management, I consistently optimize budgets, allocate key resources, and mitigate operational risks without sacrificing creative integrity. My leadership spans strategic planning, stakeholder diplomacy, contract negotiations, and legal compliance across large-scale productions."
