He played a pivotal role in the branding and promotions of multiple blockbuster commercial television hits, from daily soaps to game shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati (the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) to the international launch trailers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s classic, Devdas.Growing up in a sleepy industrial town with endless afternoons, Avijit developed an early interest in telling stories. Working in the corporate sector (Star TV Network, Turner International, ESPN) honed his capacity to thrive on urgent deadlines. Avijit obtained much acclaim for his independent films, Airgun (2021) and Taxi . . . an Uncertain Conversation (2021). Made during the pandemic, the films describe how ordinary people continued their lives as their worlds were upended. When he is not making films, Avijit finds peace in reading philosophy, crime fiction, or playing chess. An avid sports fan, he taught himself to play tennis in 2010 and never misses his tennis day even in the hottest months of the year.Avijit is a committed parent and lives in the city of Mumbai. The Swamp Girl is his first novel.weniger sehen
