Hi, I’m Ram. Sixteen years behind the work.
On film sets, in edit rooms, and lately in music rights and archives. Mostly making sure the people who made something get named for it.

Sixteen years,
What I’ve done
Sixteen years,
mostly behind the scenes.
I have led design teams, edited features, shot campaigns, and filed the paperwork that makes sure a lyricist gets paid. Different jobs, same instinct. Get the work right, and get the right names on it.
FILM
Feature films
Creative director on Nastik, leading the design team on a crew of 150+. Editor on Sweeper, Dust to Dream and Veerangana.
IPRS
Music rights
More than 100 songs filed with IPRS, with royalty splits worked out between composers, lyricists and singers.
BRANDS
Brands
Films for Hindustan Unilever, Reliance Entertainment, Greenpeace India and Save the Ganga.
ARCHIVE
Archive
These days I look after a media archive. It teaches you one thing fast. If nobody writes the name down, it is gone.
AWARD
Recognition
DoP on a Karnataka Tourism documentary previewed at the Delhi International Film Festival. Editor on Situation, first prize at the Indo-Canadian Film Festival.

Anyone can make a product. Most are gone in three years.
The ones that stay solved something that still hurts when you take them away.

Cinema Perfumes
One idea,
built properly.
A fragrance house for the people who make films. Distilled in Kannauj, in the copper stills India has run for centuries and rarely gets credit for. Opening first to the film fraternity.

How I work
Read the brief,
then make it real.
01
Read the brief.
Who it is for, and what is missing.
02
Find the feeling.
The mood, the place, the one thing to remember.
03
Make it real.
Something a person can hold, wear or watch.
04
Show it, then fix.
Keep what lands, fix what doesn’t.
