What is the highlight of your work?
Threads That Tie Us: An Oshwal Odyssey, is a passion project that I have been working on for the past 7 years. The film is a documentary about the community that I come from, a lesser-known community called the Halari Oshwals which has about 80,000 members from around the globe.

Future goals:
I am trying to develop a few projects that include a book that has been brewing in my head for the past 3 years.

Project brief/teaser:
Threads That Tie Us: A feature 85 min Documentary film about the Halari Oshwal Community
Synopsis:
This documentary explores history, culture, traditions, and faith, portraying the Halari Oshwals as a distinct tapestry of humanity. The film raises questions that resonate with universal themes. Will the threads that tie this community persevere amid geographical distances and age-old rules? Can they sustain their unity in places where the population is scarce?Threads That Tie Us is a love letter to a community, a visual symphony of the past, and a hope for generations yet to unfold.
