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.

#UberAutoArt
Uber Auto partnered with the Aravani Art Project - a transgender-led art collective that aims to create a space for transgender individuals to express themselves through art. The brand created art on 3 whitewashed Uber Auto that represent the unstoppable spirit of Mumbaikars and many others. These autos were painted live and were stationed across the city for the world to watch.
We followed up the activation with a personalised Uber Auto Art for India's first female bouncer - Mehrnunissa. Created with Aravani Art Project to reflect the unstoppable spirit of Mehr. Her late nights, her training, her hardships, everything.
