About

Hello! I’m Niddhish Puuzhakkal, a passionate storyteller with a knack for creating engaging narratives. With over 18 years of experience in TV, film, and advertising, I've directed more than 150 branded content pieces and TV commercials. I recently debuted in Bollywood with my film EGO featuring Arshad Warsi, Juhi Chawla, Divya Dutta, Gauhar Khan, Jitendra Joshi, and Prakash Belawadi, all set to release soon!

I hold a master’s in psychology and personnel management, along with a Black Belt in Six-Sigma and a Project Management Professional Certification. My career has taken me through roles at Star TV, Optymystix, Fountain Head, Group M, VML Y&R, and BBH, and I’ve also enjoyed teaching filmmaking at the EMDI School of Broadcasting.

At Light Seeker Films, my direction and brand consultation leverage a unique vision for brand communication, showcased through films that resonate with audiences. Our team excels at creating robust content, from award winning tv commercials and branded content to documentaries, feature films and independent cinema, all rooted in a distinctive school of thought. Our collective endeavor has earned us multiple accolades, reflecting our commitment to excellence in the media production landscape.

With a background that spans content strategy, creative writing, and new media, my role in guiding projects from concept to completion is pivotal. We have fostered a collaborative environment where emerging talents join experienced creatives, ensuring our work not only stands out but sets an industry benchmark. This synergy allows us to consistently produce qualitative content that captivates and engages.

Film Production
Film Direction
Script & Screenplay Writing
Copy Writing and Creative Direction
Branded Content

I love bringing stories to life and collaborating with talented teams to create impactful content. Check out my work at www.niddhish.com.
