After completing my post-graduation in IT from Sikkim Manipal University, I joined the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), an esteemed R&D organization under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) as a Project Associate.
I got the unique opportunity to develop and implement a customized Telemedicine Application that would connect healthcare providers with patients in underserved regions. This made a significant contribution to revolutionize healthcare access in rural communities, ensuring timely medical consultations and improved healthcare. My project was presented to Shri Dayanidhi Maran, Hon’ble Union Minister of Communications and IT, and Shri Brijesh Kumar, Secretary to the GoI, Ministry for Communications & IT, who greatly appreciated the outcomes.

In November 2007,I joined as a Senior Software Engineer and was assigned to a highly reputed client – The British Airways.
I spearheaded the networking team, responsible for designing British Airways’ overseas network across worldwide airports and ensuring that the network infrastructure supported seamless operations and connectivity. This experience broadened my understanding of global network design and operations, and enriched my knowledge.
As I continued to advance in my career, I realized that my true passion lay in pursuing something of my own.

By this time, my knowledge in videography and editing had expanded multifold. Together with my partner Preeti, we formed a new company named Sartaj Films, with Preeti, as the Creative Director responsible for pre-production, planning, and conceptualization, and myself overseeing production and post-production.
With growing experience, we began producing corporate films and carved a niche for ourselves by working with some top brands.
Milestone
One of the biggest milestones in my career was entering the automobile and healthcare industries. We created our first corporate film for Audi, Gurgaon, with a modest budget. However, after impressing our clients with back-to-back masterpieces, we never looked back. This success opened doors to projects from other prestigious brands like Porsche, Lamborghini, and BMW.
A personally memorable moment was when I had the opportunity to direct my childhood star, Kapil Dev, during the Porsche India Panamera launch.
Now, Sartaj Films has reached a point where we are confident in its growth and success, allowing us to invest time and money in strategic sponsorships. December 2017 marked a significant milestone for us when we proudly became a partner of the Mrs. India beauty pageant.
This partnership not only elevated our team’s presence but also aligned us with a prestigious platform, reflecting our commitment to supporting and celebrating excellence.
In the healthcare industry, we produced over 100+ corporate films, ads, and testimonials for leading hospitals such as Max Healthcare, JAYPEE Hospital, Aakash Healthcare, Paras Healthcare, Manipal Hospitals, Columbia Asia, Sarvodaya, and Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital. Each of these brands operates multiple hospitals across different parts of India, and I had the proud privilege of working with all of them. My efforts were recognized with an award for best performance, presented by Shri J.C. Chaudhry, Chairman of Aakash Healthcare.

For the past 5 years, we’ve proudly held a spot among the top 3 video production companies in Gurugram, as recognized by ‘threebestrated.in.
Our success story soon moved to other fields, wherein some of the world’s leading companies—like HCL Technologies, Deloitte, KPMG, Boston Scientific, and many more—placed their trust in us to create their crucial B2B corporate video films, that were showcased to global giants like Google, IBM, and Microsoft, helping these companies grow and succeed. The fact that these industry leaders believed in our ability to deliver at such a high level is not just a professional achievement; but a deeply rewarding experience that reinforces the passion and dedication we pour into our work every day.
In 2021, recognizing the growth potential in the OTT field, we made the strategic decision to enter the entertainment industry by launching a new vertical, ‘Sartaj Films Entertainment,’ in Mumbai. Under this banner, we proudly presented our short film ‘I Hate Goodbyes,’ featuring renowned actor Suresh Menon and actress Aneri Vajani. We also produced our first virtual reality show, ‘Grand Jury India,’ for a UK-based company and created a documentary film titled ‘Paani Police’ for Dr. Kiran Bedi’s NGO, further expanding our creative horizons.
