Portrait of Nikhil Kamath
I started as a designer, then picked up the edit, the camera and the call sheet. Now I run studios that do all of it.

I lead production, post-production and creative operations across client accounts and content streams: planning, budgets, resourcing and delivery, for 60+ projects a year.

Most recently I was Senior Associate Creative Director, Production at TING in Mumbai. Before that I ran Afterhours Films end to end for three years, shot for television and film, and art-directed brands and events. Most of what I run today started as something I did with my own hands.
