About 

A commercial and narrative director with a master’s degree from the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Arjun specializes in films which are fun, exciting, and inspirational. His work has featured in and won awards at several international festivals in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Italy, India, and New York. His last series secured the Grand Jury Prize at the Academy Award qualifying Rhode Island International Film Festival. The series went on to air on Disney+ and earned Arjun a coveted spot on the jury of the Asian Academy Film Awards.

Over the past decade, he has directed multiple high-scale commercials and films across Asia and Europe.

Whether it’s a 30 second commercial or a 90 minute feature film, Arjun believes in always putting the story at the forefront and pushing visuals that leave a lasting emotional imprint long after the screen fades to black. 

This year, while directing multiple commercials for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Arjun is also the showrunner and director for 2 original series and a feature film, all of which would be releasing on major streaming networks over 2024-25.

Arjun takes his days off (though far and few) very seriously and loves playing with his cats Sushi and Bamboo. He enjoys good beer and gin, can mildly play the guitar, mildly sing, and will be mildly patient with you.
