About

Hi,

I am Priya, a filmmaker by training and entrepreneur by choice. 🙌

I am the creator of an AI-driven app, Mumkin and currently working on Bounce, a one-stop shop for sustainable fashion from all over the world. ツ

Last year, I created an AI-driven app @Mumkinpp, and co-founded a social entrepreneurship, to build technology for survivors of gender-based violence and LGBTQI+

What else? In 2015, I co-founded an international non-profit, Sahiyo, working to build dialogue, education and awareness on Female Genital Cutting (FGC) in India and other parts of the world, along with four other co-founders. We have a large team (60+ people and growing from all over the world, and two branches in 🇮🇳 and 🇺🇸 .

My documentary ‘A Pinch of Skin’ is the recipient of the 60th National Film Award of India. and has screened worldwide. I perceive my work as conversations and believe in the power of media, advocacy, and storytelling to initiate dialogue, the first and most important step for change.
