Over the years, I have worked with a lot of creative professionals and leaders from various domains. Here are some recommendations I have received so far.

I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Phalgunn. His ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of our team. No matter how tense a meeting, he made sure everyone left with a smile

Phalgunn’s curiosity and an always-on mind helps him look at ordinary things in an entirely different and extraordinary manner and bring a distinct flair to his treatment of his creative trysts – be it his articles, his features or his music.
I started producing ethnographic documentary films and video essays while studying visual anthropology, media and documentary practices at the University of Münster. My films and essays have always focused on social media, vlogging, authenticity, performance, art and culture and communities surrounding art and culture.

After three years of studying visual anthropology and gaining professional video experience in Germany, I am now creating my debut feature documentary. This film, which will also be my Master's thesis, follows a group of expats as they practice Yakshagana, a rare and vibrant art form from the coastal region of Karnataka, India. It's a story about their struggle to build a community and find a sense of home in Germany, against all odds.
My Story in Brief
I am currently doing my internship in video and content production at DPDHL Research and Innovation, and I am pursuing my second master's degree (in Visual Anthropology, Media and Documentary Practices). At DHL, I am responsible for video content, especailly for event based video content, and to tell the stories of innovation at DHL. In short, I produce and shoot videos, and also edit them at DHL. Apart from that, I am currently working on my debut documentary feature film, and I am also working on my first AI short film.
Prior to coming to Germany I worked in India with brands like Biocon, IndiQube and TechTree for 8 years where I was working in marketing and communications. In India, I have also done my MBA specialising in Media and Entertainment and my PG Diploma in Mass Communication and Journalism. But, I always wanted to produce videos and audio/visual content, and hence after working for eight years in PR, corporate communication, and writing content, I decided to plunge into the world of video production by studying again in Germany, and that led to where I am and what I do today.
I don't just produce videos, but I also love clicking photos, and I am an active member of the Pexels community in Germany, frequently attending Fotowalks in Düsseldorf and contributing to the Pexels community. Below are some of my most downloaded images. You can, ofcourse, check out my entire contribution here.
For me, professional video production is still all about storytelling. Every brand, product, and event has a human story at its core, and my passion is to bring that story to the screen. Below are some of the projects where I've had the opportunity to do just that.
