I started my career as a Software Engineer with Infosys Technologies. After a 2 year stint, I realized technical field was not my forte. I thus made a career change and entered into the world of media and communication after completing post graduation in Broadcast Journalism from IIJNM Bangalore. I was one of the 10 Journalists selected from around the world by Thomson Foundation, UK to attend their 'Future Media Leaders Course' at Cardiff, Wales. My masters at college was in documentary filmmaking and I have continued the same on sides of working as a Journalist. I am currently busy with my first Independent Documentary feature - Martyrs of Marriage - a film on misuse of Dowry laws in India. Know more about the project here: www.MartyrsofMarriage.com
