What I'm looking for
I’m a Business & Studio Operations Leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling creative businesses across film, VFX, gaming, animation, immersive technologies, and AI-driven content. I focus on studio operations, business development, strategic partnerships, original IP development, and feature film production.
As Assistant Vice President - Delivery & Operations at Sketchwave Studios Pvt. Ltd., I lead end-to-end project delivery across CG, VFX, Animation, Gaming, AR/VR/MR, Digital Twin, and AI-led video production. I build production pipelines with creative and technical leaders to reduce turnaround time, strengthen client communication, and improve timeliness and cost efficiency.
I’ve also progressed through multiple roles at Geek Pictures Pvt. Ltd., from Producer to Head of Content & Intellectual Property and Head, Media Strategy & Operations. There, I developed content syndication between Japan and India, built and led the Content and IP Division, managed rights and compliance, negotiated cross-border contracts, and helped monetize and grow existing and new IP.
Across earlier roles, I supported portfolio companies through due diligence and operations setup, led distribution planning and sales execution, and worked in talent management and international corporate relations. I’m energized by cross-border collaboration and by creating repeatable SOPs, metrics, and partnerships that keep delivery consistent and businesses growing.
