About Me
Filmmaker, NatGeo Explorer & Storyteller
Born in Central India and Raised amidst the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Himalayas, with the majestic Nanda and Trishul peaks as my early companions, I found my lifelong passion for nature and storytelling. Today, I channel this love through film and narrative, uncovering stories of wilderness and communities.
I lead Bustards Media, a conservation-driven media firm based in Central India, focusing on community-driven initiatives like river restoration and waste management. My work extends to Kenya, where I collaborate with two NGOs in Laikipia on wildlife conservation and community development.
