With creative leadership backed by a strong monetisation strategy, we are positioned to deliver storytelling that is both impactful and business-effective for brands across platforms.”
Sanjay Nandan, a seasoned storyteller, editor, and producer with over 25 years of experience, has led acclaimed factual and scripted projects, including ABP Network’s award-winning documentary series Pradhanmantri (1 & 2).
