Pooja is a highly acclaimed director of Indian heritage whose journey into the world of storytelling has been nothing short of remarkable. Armed with a degree in Journalism, she initially honed her craft by assisting in documentary films before seamlessly transitioning into the realm of advertising.
Raised in a bustling joint family with cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents, Pooja’s formative years were steeped in the rich tapestry of real-life stories. Her upbringing’s vibrant chaos served as a wellspring of inspiration, fueling her passion for weaving captivating narratives that resonate with audiences on a profound level.
Over the past half-decade, Pooja has left an indelible mark on the advertising industry, directing commercials for global brands such as Nescafe, McDonald’s, Ford, Ariel, Motorola, Oppo, Uber, Oreo, and many others. Her impactful public service campaign for Dhara, created in commemoration of World Heart Day, clinched a prestigious Baby Blue Elephant at the 2022 Kyoorius Creative Awards, earning accolades from both viewers and industry peers alike.
When Pooja is not working, you will find her vacationing in one of the quaint European towns, learning a new skill, or just chilling on a hilltop doing nothing. ‘Living Stories’ has been her Whatsapp status from the day she installed the app on her phone. She hopes to retain that status for a long time to come.
