Hey, I'm Ankit.
I try to do more than I speak. But don’t for a second believe that I’m a person of few words.
I’m interested in pretty much every part of what we do.
The planning. The questions that keep our clients up at night. The writing. The art. The technology. The shoots. The edits. The sound.
The grading. The formats. The little things that make an idea work.
Everything interests me. And everything gets my attention.
Because if we’re going to obsess over making the work great,
why not enjoy the hell out of making it too?
That’s the energy I try to bring to everything I do.
To my briefings. My writing. My shoots. My edits. And, perhaps most importantly, my teaching.
I like making things. I like figuring things out. And I like doing both with people who care.
Cheers.
A little about my journey.

Rental Health Day
Uber Rentals is a service where people can rent one car for 8 to 12 hours in a day. Go wherever, add as many stops. One driver. One car.
Uber had spent years trying to launch this service, but never found the right rhythm.
Until, a simple truth came forward.
The pandemic had just ended. Work from home was fading. People were returning to the roads.
But were these tired minds ready to get behind the wheel?
Introducing, Rental Health Day. A mental health day for the ones who wanted to take on the world without taking the wheel.
A campaign that saw multiple iterations over the years through films, content, activations, and in-app advertising.
