Venturing into the film industry was never on my radar when I first embarked on my entrepreneurial journey. At Thincnext, my focus was exclusively on building products and delivering services. However, an unexpected entry into the world of cinema in 2012 as a marketing partner for a commercial film changed the course of my business.
Fast forward to today, I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked on 294 films across Kannada, Telugu, and Bollywood, and am proud to announce my first official footprint into Hollywood this year.
But 2024 is particularly special. My company, Tstudios, is collaborating with the Karnataka Film Chamber Of Commerce with a great initiative by the President NM Suresh and Secretary Dr. R Sunder Raju, an iconic institution with over 75 years of legacy, to fully digitise the work processes in the Kannada film industry for the years to come.
Coming from a small town with no backing in this domain, reaching this point in the film industry fills me with immense pride. Now, it’s time for the next big step-launching our AI-based app for film buffs, which will be announced soon.
