Shruti Dutt
Founder / Casting Director
They say you find your calling by accident for me it was a matter of discovery. As a child, I loved storytelling in all its forms whether it was a novel or cinema that we watched on VHS tapes. And that love only grew, so when it came to a point of choosing what I needed to do the choice was fairly organic. Having started my journey in Delhi, I decided to move to Mumbai a few years later to grow in this beloved field. It was an obvious but brave move not knowing anyone in the city of Mumbai and the industry hence began the most interesting journey of finding out who I am. I worked in different roles when I first came to Mumbai years ago, as an assistant director, production assistant, and stylist assistant, till I got a chance to work as a casting assistant on an AD film with a well-known casting director and I knew I had found my place, the journey grew from assisting various well know casting directors on ad films, web series, films to eventually becoming a casting director myself. It’s a journey that has been full of exciting and challenging times and I have loved every bit of it. As the entrepreneurial journey gets added to this, there are so many exciting times ahead.
