All in a
Mumbai
Minute
I was at a point in my life where I needed proof that life's trajectory wasn't set in stone - that I could tug on the reins and swerve out of traffic, and race down the fast lane towards my dreams.
So I fled the coop - and landed in the flurry that is Bombay. In the months and years that followed, I found work and play, friends and family to guide me on my way, and pieces of my soul I never knew existed strewn across my path through the winding roads of the city of dreams.

My work in Film and Television
The Zoya Factor
My work on the background score for The Zoya Factor has probably reached more ears than any of my other projects. It was a major feature film (my first), brought forth by the Goliath of Indian production houses, AdLabs and Fox Star Studios, and is available to watch on Netflix.

Wedding Films
During my stay at The Music Factory, I met the Wedding Filmer - and we composed music - original songs - for his films. The creative leeway on these projects was immense, and allowed us to explore genres and auditory palates we usually shied away from on television scores.
We ended up working on several high-profile wedding films - namely the Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone-Ranvir Singh weddings. We worked with singers such as Harshdeep Kaur, Nikhil D'Souza and Devender Singh (of Coke Studio fame).
Ads and Jingles

Children's Television
Some of the most exciting and invigorating work I did was writing songs for children. We worked in collaboration with a renowned animation studio (One Life Studios) and here are a few examples of the fun we had.
