About me

I am a former jewelry designer turned conservation filmmaker and science communicator. After witnessing the impact the jewelry industry had on India's forests during my three years in the business, I made the decision to leave my profession and pursue a career in conservation. Along the way, I volunteered in urban wildlife rescues alongside the State Forest Department and assisted the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau in combating wildlife trafficking.

In addition to my work in conservation, I have also pursued my entrepreneurial spirit by running a small baking company called FitBakes. This venture allowed me to support myself financially while pursuing my passion for wildlife. Although these experiences were valuable, my deep desire to utilize my creativity and passion for conservation persisted.

A pivotal moment came when the State Forest Department entrusted me with a project. With their funding, I took the lead in presenting and co-creating a bilingual documentary aimed at dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding snakes in India. The film received great feedback, media coverage, and continues to be utilized in awareness programs for schools and local communities. It was during this time that I realized storytelling was my strength and passion, and I began focusing on creating content to bridge the gap between conservation science and communities.

Motivated by this realization, I embarked on a career in conservation filmmaking. Since then, I have been producing short films for NGOs and independent researchers who aim to make a real difference on the ground. My ability to understand conservation science and creatively merge it into storytelling has made me an effective communicator.

In addition to my work in conservation, I have a passion for the sport of bodybuilding. Currently, I am training to become a bodybuilding athlete to represent my country on an international platform. Balancing these two worlds has been a challenge, as both require commitment, patience, time, and dedication. Learning how to balance my profession as a filmmaker and my passion for the sport of bodybuilding is an ongoing lesson that I embrace.

Through my journey as a conservation filmmaker and science communicator, I strive to make a positive impact by raising awareness, fostering understanding, and inspiring action for the conservation of our natural world. In line with this vision, I am currently working towards building my own production company called 'Conservation Focus.' This company will be dedicated to creating compelling and impactful films that drive change and promote conservation efforts worldwide.
