Siddharth is a self-taught filmmaker, born and raised in Delhi. A hybrid mountain soul, his roots trace back to the Himalayan regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
While pursuing his Bachelor's degree in Design with a focus on Visual Communication, he developed a strong foundation in colour theory, spatial balance, and art history; skills that now deeply inform his visual storytelling. His love for documentary filmmaking stems from his belief that no two days in this profession are ever the same. One day, you might find yourself filming in the most high-security, inaccessible places and the next, capturing stories of people living with the bare minimum. This stark contrast in experiences fuels his curiosity and keeps him exploring the diverse layers of human life.
In 2017, Siddharth founded Big Monkey Studios (BMS), a boutique Indian film production house. BMS specialises in advertisements, short documentaries, and animation films; handling projects end-to-end, from ideation to execution. The studio is driven by a young, multidisciplinary team that values collaboration and mindfulness. Their mission is to tell meaningful stories around responsible subjects, all while actively working to reduce their carbon footprint.
