I’m a world record–holding Director and Producer with 17+ years delivering large-scale broadcast, live, and hybrid productions, spanning television, film, digital content, and documentaries for local, regional, and global audiences. With over 1,750 credited hours behind the camera, I’ve directed and produced projects, including 150+ music videos, TV commercials, live events, reality shows, and long-format television programs, consistently managing complex crews, budgets, and high-pressure productions. My expertise includes international event production, field and live broadcast coordination, factual storytelling, and large-scale content delivery. I played a key role in pioneering Nepal’s first private-channel reality series, led the country’s first technology and gadgets show (Cyber Sansaar), and directed a television production filmed at Everest Base Camp, managing extreme logistics and high-altitude challenges. Internationally, I collaborated with CNN as an international contributor during the 2015 Nepal earthquake, supporting live coverage, field reporting, and story development that reached global audiences, and have also worked with ABC Australia on international broadcast content. These experiences strengthened my ability to operate in high-pressure environments while delivering accurate, engaging, and impactful storytelling. I’m a Digital Film Making graduate from SAE Institute, with strong experience in creative direction, production leadership, editorial coordination, crew management, budgeting, scheduling, and end-to-end global event execution. I believe every production deserves flawless execution and compelling storytelling, whether for live broadcast, global events, or large-scale media projects. I’m open to international collaborations, large-scale event productions, and strategic media partnerships.
