Controller - Film Production

Summary

Forward-thinking and a Creative producer with experience in producing/executing complex branding broadcast commercials/content for television, cinema, and digital.
Total experience of over two decades in an Advertising Agency, Production House and Television. Proven ability to meet deadlines and budgets. My escapades include Equinox, FCB Ulka, Zee Network, BBDO India, TBWA India, and Publicis Groupe (Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnett).

Excellent communication skills and networking abilities. Responsible for leading all aspects of production, including identifying production partners, timing, budget and sourcing of deliverables across a variety of accounts.
That's not all, as Agency Producer I also have almost a decade of big brand experience under my belt with both P&G and Colgate Palmolive. Both are very complex process-driven clients, with even more complex Production Briefs and procurement teams that teach you the value of patience very quickly. Leading development and production of broadcast content and branded digital content for clients including Visa, Blackberry, Nissan Motors, Proctor&Gamble, Pepsico, Gillette, and Colgate Palmolive. Have led several major global initiatives, creating integrated content across multiple media platforms. What I am proudest of though, are the years I spent in the industry. Meeting the seemingly impossible requirements of all the demanding perfectionists that teach you organization and the value of tenacity very quickly.

I am the sum of my experiences and I am grateful for them all.
Currently working as Controller - Film Production since Oct. 2019 with Brand David - Ogilvy India.
