Sound Artist specializing in Music, Sound Design & Virtual Reality
I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay. In my thesis projects, I have worked on exploring sound and music in film and virtual reality. My foundation in design thinking, filmmaking, and storytelling makes my approach to sound, unique.
After graduating, I worked on a feature film as sound recordist and music composer, followed by composing and designing sound for the award-winning 6DoF VR experience Into the Manhole — recognised at FICCI BAF, Courant3D 2025, Laval Virtual and Busan International Short Film Festival. I am currently working on a science documentary as music composer and sound designer.
Since 2022, I have been working full-time across music composition, sound design, and immersive audio — bringing a designer's precision and an artist's instinct to every project.
The 6DoF VR experience won the Grand Prix at Laval Virtual, one of the world's leading XR events.

Description of the workshop, masterclass, or course you led or participated in.
As a designer and a sound artist, I overthink the music and sound. Because it is way too important for me to get it right. Let's together find that right sound and the right moment.
