01 — Gen AI & Performance Content

End-to-End AI
Video Production

From brief to conversion — ideation, scripting, generation, editing, and optimisation. Every frame engineered to make the algorithm and the audience both pay attention.

The Creative Strategy

Every video starts with one question: what single psychological truth will make this person stop and watch? I build creative frameworks around deep audience personas — spiritual hunger, aspiration, identity — then deploy Gen AI to produce, test, and scale at a pace traditional production can't touch. The output is a living creative engine: data-in, winning ads-out, with every iteration tightening the funnel.

About

Creative Lead.
Human first.

I started in film — documentary shorts, festival circuit, a semi-final at the European Cinematography Awards. Then pivoted into brand and digital, founded my own D2C skincare company, and eventually found the intersection I was always looking for: Gen AI content that actually performs.

At AppsForBharat, I now lead the end-to-end creative system for Daily Mantra App — from brief to Meta ad delivery. Everything I build is rooted in human psychology, tested by data, and produced at AI speed.
