I was born in the serene town of Ganehspur nestled in the mountains of Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand. My earliest memories are filled with the echoes of nature, the rhythm of the rivers, and the spiritual essence of the Himalayas. I began my formal education at Babu Nand Kishore Bajoria School in Kotbangla, around 4 km from my home. From nursery to 10th grade, this humble school shaped my early years. Later, I pursued my 12th grade at the Government Inter College in Uttarkashi.
Writing came to me naturally—like a prayer. In my childhood, I started by composing bhajans, and as I grew older, I found myself immersed in shayari, poetry, and short stories. But the turning point came in 2009, during my time studying Cisco Networking. Despite preparing for a tech career, I discovered blogging and created my blog on Blogger:

It was here that I poured out my thoughts, stories, spiritual reflections, and poetic expressions. Blogging became not just a creative outlet but a lifeline—a mirror of my inner world. The blog is still alive and evolving, chronicling my journey from that very moment to today.
In 2010, inspired by the film 3 Idiots, I made a bold decision: I would follow my passion for writing and storytelling. I left behind my technical path and enrolled in Editworks School of Mass Communication, affiliated with Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism, Noida. I pursued a B.Sc. in Electronic Media from August 2010 to June 2013. Those three years were transformative.
During college, I gained valuable exposure through internships at NDTV, IBN7, India TV, and more. I even had the chance to be part of live programs as an audience member. I wrote two stage plays—Sudama Ke Chawal and Swatantrata aur Abhivyakti—and directed several short films, including my college’s best film that year, Asar.
On July 23, 2013, I took the biggest leap of my life—I moved to Mumbai. I stayed initially at a fisheries hostel in Versova with a friend, Arvind Chauhan. Within 45 days, I began working as an intern in the television industry. I assisted on shows like Rangrasiya and Khauff, gaining hands-on experience with production houses like BAG Films and channels like Life OK.
My professional writing journey began in August 2014 when I joined Corporate Coach as a Scriptwriter and Director. I wrote and directed training videos and corporate modules. From there, I went on to work with Harmony Pictures, where I wrote the screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics for the film "Hum Bhi Agar Bachche Hote"—a heart-touching project that won multiple awards, including recognition at the Berlin Film Festival.
From 2018 to 2021, I was associated with Filmymantra as a Creative Writer and Director. I wrote entertainment news, conceptualized short films like "Dedh Sayana" and "When Online Date-Mate Met First Time". But just as things were blooming, COVID-19 disrupted life. My work at Filmymantra was severely impacted, and I had to look for new opportunities in a changed world.
I then joined Mangrol Multimedia in 2021, where I worked until August 2022 as a Creative Writer and Director, contributing content, translations, and transcriptions for multiple clients. Alongside, I kept freelancing for platforms like MX Player, where I wrote for an upcoming series based on true cybercrime stories, and Hungry Birds Entertainment, creating content for YouTube.
In November 2022, I joined Sudarshan Groups of Company, a publication house, where I handled research, content editing, translations, and proofreading. I served there full-time until December 2023.
Currently, I’m working at Wellness Forever as a Scriptwriter since June 2024. Here, I develop high-impact training modules designed for daily engagement by store employees, aiming to upskill their professional journey with consistent learning.
Parallel to all of this, I’ve always been involved in various creative projects:
Co-founder of the YouTube channel Heavenly Himalaya, dedicated to the spiritual and natural beauty of the mountains.
Writer and director of films like Asar, Addiction, and Dedh Sayana.
Contributor to Navbharat Times, Dainik Jagran, Gaatha.com, and other platforms.
I’ve also translated spiritual discourses from English to Hindi, like the powerful teachings of Acharya Aashish Ways.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked across TV, digital, web, film, and print. I’ve walked through studios and mountain paths, from the alleys of Uttarkashi to the buzz of Mumbai’s film sets. But at the heart of it all, I am—above everything else—a writer.
The words that shaped my boyhood prayers have now shaped my career.
And this journey has only just begun.
