Kriti is a creator and head writer, currently developing a web series (drama) being internationally co-produced by Jaya Ent (CA, USA) and Bandra West Pictures (Mumbai, India). She has two comedy feature films in development, including one as director.
After studying Film & TV at the Post-Graduate level at Xavier’s Institute of Communications (XIC), Mumbai, Kriti’s nostalgic love for mainstream Hindi cinema led her to work as an Associate & Assistant Director on six major Bollywood films in as many years (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5175828/). Simultaneously building her showreel as a director, Kriti directed five branded short films for MOFILM, one of which won the top prize internationally, with each qualifying in the top three. Her varied directorial credits include a non-fiction TV show for a major broadcaster and voice-direction for a major tech brand’s AI virtual assistant.
Kriti’s strength as a visual storyteller is compounded by her extensive experience as a choreographer and director for stage musicals at her mother’s proprietary dance institute ‘Sharda Kala Mandir’. Kriti has trained in jazz at the Broadway Dance Institute (New York), jazz and contemporary at The Danceworx (Mumbai), and continues to pursue higher studies in Kathak (North Indian classical dance form) from Sangit Mahabharati (Mumbai).
Kriti dreams of bringing joy into the lives of billions of people through her stories, as stories have done for her, in a way that truthfully mirrors who we are.
