Mumbai,MH

Summary

Experience of over 12 years as a media professional, working in the broadcast media industry with conglomerates like Times Network, NDTV, Zee Entertainment Network and MTV.
Skilled in Television Production, Creative Writing, Show conceptualization, Digital Media and Post Production.

Graduate in English Honours from St Xavier's College, Kolkata and
Postgraduate in Mass Communication from SIMC (Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication), Pune.

During my stint as a media professional and earlier during my student days (being very active in extra-curricular activities), I have touched upon, experienced and enjoyed a lot of creative avenues. So while taking it forward from my post graduation specialization and being in the media industry all this while, now I am ready and willing to explore (along with media) a few other fields that I have always been interested in, like fashion, food, events, performing arts and others. I know I have what it takes to venture into these fields, and I am willing to work hard to learn and grow, as per the need of the hour.
