We launched our own production company along with three of my batch mates and primarily focusing on conservation. I have documented the life-history and threats that several species face: from the Asian elephant which is the largest land mammal that we have in India to the Pygmy hog which is the smallest wild pig species found in the wild.

My films have spanned diverse themes: from on-ground patrolling teams in Manas National Park to documenting wildlife camps for children around Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary and Fakim Wildlife Sanctuary. I have worked with Aaranyak, Eco-Systems India, Foundation for Ecological Security, Bhutan Glory Eco-Club, Wildlife Institute of India and Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department. Once I got into Green Hub, I too was part of the in-house editing team and learnt a lot from my mentors.

I remember that I took the pain to learn the basics of the editing software Sony Vegas and Pinnacle Studio from Youtube so that I could make videos on our local festivals. It was then that I developed an interest in photography and videography.

But I cultivated a deep passion for wildlife when I worked as a contingency computer operator (2011-2015) with the Shergaon Forest Division, Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department. I did my Bachelor of Arts from Rajiv Gandhi University in the capital city of Itanagar.
