Through my PhD, I specialize in film and media industry studies, focusing specifically on the contemporary transnational production culture between India and Europe for independent and art-house films. My doctoral thesis includes the first empirical study of one of the most underrepresented figures in the Indian film industry — producers and their work world.

​Based on my multicultural background and international academic experiences at universities across India, Canada and Europe, I encourage the exchange of diverse perspectives and opinions to stimulate creativity and critical thinking in the classroom.​

Besides research and teaching, I have also worked as a production intern in the Calgary film and media industry. Additionally, I led and collaborated on equity, diversity and inclusion projects within academia and industry.
