VIDEOS & PODCASTS
Most of my video work was produced at Arré, where we conceived a new editorial form that we labelled “music documentary”. These were stories from India, shot by us and set to an original soundtrack that we designed, with a team of talented collaborators.
During my time at Arré, I also directed and produced the Audible original series, Ae Dil Hai Complicated, which was part of Audible India's inaugural slate of shows. The show was hosted by actress Neena Gupta, and spanned a range of subjects — open marriage, polyamory, missing parents, almost lovers — each of which was based on an Arré essay I had previously commissioned.
I also oversaw the production of the weekly Arré podcast.
