This project brings together three distinct yet interconnected pieces created for ELLE India’s ‘Impact’ series, featuring fashion designer, entrepreneur, and cultural icon Masaba Gupta.
ELLE Impact is a flagship property by ELLE India that celebrates women who are leaving a mark—within their industries and beyond. Women who lead with intention, push boundaries, and redefine what success looks like on their own terms.
Shot and directed by me, this series combines motion cover, behind-the-scenes documentation, and a candid On Set conversation, offering a multidimensional portrait of a woman who continues to shape conversations around identity, creativity, and power.
