Snippets of My Career
Red Bull Game On's Good Game Show
(Showrunner/Creator, Creative Lead, Lead Writer, Game Designer, and Production Head)
A game show that is designed for consumers of gaming content with nerdy trivia (just how I like it), charismatic guests, and 5 episodes of a gaming and pop culture reference-driven game show that integrates gaming mechanics IRL. I designed the project from the very pitching stage up to the 6 months it took to get all the episodes out to release. The aesthetic design, power-ups, and different graphical elements are inspired by the retro world of arcade gaming, and the set itself is inspired by the iconic Red Bull colours and cans. It is simple yet effective in its production design, and the styling was sourced the Souled Store.
AMD Playsphere
(Showrunner/Creator, Host, Lead Screenwriter, Game Designer)
AMD Playsphere is another show I have been a part of, from the pitching stage to post-production. I designed the games in the show and hosted the show on camera as well, while being a writer and helping with production. The show is a love letter to gaming, pop culture, and the way Indian gamers have paved the way for generations of gamers to take the stage and show the world what the Indian gaming industry has the potential to become. There were soft integrations for AMD's machines for gaming as well as the then unreleased lenovo legion Go. The show has 8 Episodes and over 50 Lakh Views.
Frido DVC(s)
(Screenwriter, Director, Producer)
My Relationship with Frido has been years in the making. I have produced over 1000 ads with them, including campaigns, Meta ads, DVCs and a long form series soon to release, you'll find more of my work with Frido below in the website. Me and my team have had the pleasure of not only building and designing their performance vertical, but also building a team of film professionals, 100s of people working each week on sets with contracts, from lightmen to spot boys. These ads were one of the first I made with them.
Khoon Ka Junoon (Passion For Blood)
(Screenwriter, Director, Co-Producer, Actor, Lyricist, Singer, Editor)
A satirical music video which is a party song from the perspective of a sexist serial killer and comments on toxic masculinity. The video is gory, filled with prosthetic violence, and juxtaposes the image of a sweet-looking scenario with the image of oozing blood from the victims of this serial killer, that he proudly talks about in his party song. The Music Video garnered acclaim and recieved accolades at the National Film Archives. This is a passion project that was just massively fun to produce.

Fan Anthem - The Gamer's Anthem
(Screenwriter, Creative Lead, Project Manager, Promotional Strategy and Design)
Featuring the greatest Esports talent in the country, the fan Anthem is a love letter to every esports enthusiast and the everyday struggle they go through to justify and fulfil their passion for gaming. I wrote the screenplay for the project and was the creative lead on the entire project. This is the first time that two career rival team's fan favourite players came together for something like this and crossed over a million views together.
World, Zombied. Official Trailer
(Screenwriter, director, Editor, Lyricist, Composer)
My first feature film project as a Writer, Director, Editor, Producer, and Actor won the honourable jury mention award at the Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival and has gone to some of the major national and international festivals this year. I also did the sound design and composition for some of the BGM tracks in it.
MAsterchow Vertical Ads
(Screenwriter, Producer, Director, Editor)
With Masterchow, we wanted to go a teeny bit unhinged, highly creative, and try out different styles. The ads commulatively have over 2 million views on YouTube and IG. From an anime style cooking battle ad, a dark comedy about the extent to which a consumer could go once they get a taste of chilli oil, and the reason behind incredible mouthgasms, these ads were a ball to make.
Papa Said No
(Producer, Director, Creator, Screenwriter)
A comedy talk show with gamers and Samay Raina as a host that is partially scripted when the sketchy bits come in, The idea was to make Fanclash's brand image more centered towards Fan service and a brand created by fans of gaming.
The Godlike Bootcamp: A Film for All of Us
(Director, Co-Producer, Voice Artist, Screenwriter)
A film documenting team Godlike's journey so far, the trials and tribulations of the Esports industry, and what it means to be in this vast new world of Gaming. A film that received 3 million views on YouTube and trended for a week. I wrote, directed, and narrated the project. While writing, we not only wanted to celebrate what makes GodLike so special, but also talk about the deeper struggle they face, how they care for their mental and physical health, and touch upon important social ideas like Online Bullying.
Wings - Be The Sickest in the Game
(Director, Screenwriter, Co-Producer Project Manager)
The two commercials for the headphones brand Wings were shot at the Godlike Bootcamp with Jonathan Amaral and aired on Star Sports during the Krafton BGMI event, with the biggest Prize Pool in India. The idea was to stylise the product in a very gamer-centric way with contrasty lighting in one commercial, and high-key relatable product in the second one.
DC Talent, Krafton, BGMI Projects
(Director, Screenwriter, Producer, Project Manager, Editor)
BGMI Holi Special
In my collaboration with Krafton and Cornerstone, I made a self-aware, comedic short-film-style commercial campaign film in which two of the gaming industry's most well-known and celebrated talents, Shreeman Legend and Scout, were pitted against each other in a live-action BGMI-like holi battle. The Video has over 5 Lakh Views currently.
BGMI Mother's Day Special Ft. Gaurav Kapoor
A talk show project that I wrote, directed, and edited for BGMI featuring some of the most celebrated gamers, their mothers, and Gaurav Kapoor. The video has over 10 Lakh views.
Appreciate Ads
(Director, Editor, Writer, Producer)
When Appreciate reached out for this project, they wanted their ads to be grounded in everyday reality in some cases, and exaggerated caricatures of everyday people in others. The idea was to try two extremes, realism on one hand and absolute exaggeration on the other. These set of ads identify the different demographics Appreciate is working with to get the best result possible.
Vishwarang - Aditi Shah Collective
(Director, Editor - Live Music)
This project is Madhya Pradesh's very own live music series for which I directed several different episodes streaming on Youtube right now. Raag-Des and Re Piya are two viral music videos on Instagram and YouTube that we spent a lot of time and effort producing under a strict budget.
Speed Records - Various
(Screenwriter, Director, Editor, Content Head)
Some of my earliest work is with Speed Records, though it is not my finest work, but this is where I learned the ropes and I think that early work also matters, shows you an increment in quality and production as you go up through a person's filmography.
