About

I started my career as an Assistant Cinematographer and worked with reputed Cinematographers in India for many big budget feature films.

I worked as an Assistant Director / Associate Director for a few feature films.

I wrote for a few feature films and have recently written the story, screenplay and dialogs for an English feature film titled “Kings Cross” shot in London.

I worked as a Fixer / Line Producer for many International production houses / networks.

Some of the projects I was involved in:

The Untouchable Kids Of India – Nick News with Linda Ellerbee:(Emmy Winner!)

I worked as a fixer for Lucky Duck Productions “Nick News” show shot all over in India for over a month in 2007. I assisted the visiting crew with almost everything including permissions for the shoot, travel, identifying subjects for the shoot, coordinating with locals in some sensitive areas etc and managed to get everything the team wanted.

MSNBC Nightly News:
I worked with Mara Schiavocampo, the first Digital Correspondent of NBC News for a 10 day shoot spread across various cities in India. Even though the project came to me at the last minute, I managed to procure permissions, identify subjects, companies etc for the various stories Mara covered in India.

We covered stories in Bangalore, Tirupati, Chennai, Pune and Mumbai. Whatever Mara wanted, I got it organized while we were on the move.

MTV USA – Exiled!:

I was the Local Producer for MTV’s much awaited reality show Exiled! Shot in Kerala, India. This was a huge production and I was responsible for finding the locations, subjects, getting permits from the Ministry of External Affairs, the forest departments, state government etc.

Discovery Channel – FightQuest:

I worked as the Local Producer for Fight Quest, A popular reality show on Martial Arts by the Discovery Channel. I was responsible from getting the permits to coordinating the shoot in Kerala, India.

Nick News – Torchlight on Tibet:

Lucky Duck Productions chose to work with me again for their second documentary in India about issues faced by Tibetan Children in India.

I took care of the complete logistics of the documentary which was shot in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh and New Delhi. .

IYF (International Youth Federation)
I directed the IYF’s Mumbai segment which is to be aired on CNN as a part of a much larger show.

My strengths…having did a lot of student projects in journalism, apart from my 3 year stint in a major IT company and my film experience, my strength, apart from my contacts is my out of the box thinking and having “Nothing is Impossible” attitude.

Transit Visa for the UK

I am traveling to NY next week and would be there for around two weeks. On the way back to India, I plan to stop over in London for 2 days before coming back to India.

I spoke to the UK High commission here in Mumbai and they asked me to take a transit visa using which I can get out into the city for less than 48 hours. But as the visa application takes a minimum of 3 days, I don’t have that much time here to apply.

What I would like to know is, can I take a transit visa for the UK in New York itself (Someone said I need to take all the visas in my home country only)?
