A CAREER IN IMAGES
From animation
to imagined worlds.
30+ yearsMy journey began in animation and grew into visual effects supervision, studio development and creative leadership. Over three decades, I have worked across Indian and international cinema, television and commercials, moving between the detail of a single shot and the bigger demands of a production.
I was a founding member of FrameFlow, which became Sony Pictures Imageworks India, and established the international visual effects division at Futureworks. That experience shaped my approach to building teams, designing workflows and connecting creative ambition with practical delivery.
At BOT VFX, I lead creative development and help build the pipeline for complete visual effects shots, including CGI. My work brings together pre-production, on-set understanding, compositing, color workflows and close collaboration with artists, producers and clients.
