Many years ago, I got fed up and quit my well-paying, globe-trotting job. I couldn’t force myself to enjoy my job knowing I had to work in a sexist atmosphere. The men in the office  talked of male brains and female brains, women’s role in the society/kitchen, and how all this is “scientific.” Any opposing views were shot down. The thought of  getting on the conveyor belt of this corporate rat race drove me up the wall, I made up my mind to choose conscience over capital.

I have since been writing, making films and engaging in women’s rights activism with several grassroots organizations all over the world. Thankfully, I never felt lured  back into a 9-5 life, even on days when my bank balance mocked me.

I am a radical feminist, I put women first in every project I pursue. I am the country contact for the Women’s Declaration International (WDI). I write about various human rights issues facing Indian women. I make films under the production company I founded called  Lime Soda Films. To counter the inequality in the film industry, and create a global solidarity of female filmmakers, I founded Women Making Films.
