Aniket Parimal Pandya
"Engineer by Education · Artist by Passion · Entrepreneur by Profession"
Aniket Pandya is a dynamic force across theatre, film, education, and entrepreneurship. Trained as an engineer, he acquired his skill of creativity at IIT Delhi and formally educated in Startup Growth and Execution at IIMC (Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta), he brings a rare combination of technical rigour and artistic instinct to everything he creates. A TEDx speaker, creative consultant, and culturally rooted storyteller, he believes art is the most powerful instrument of human and business transformation.
As the founding force behind Aniradichita Theatre and Films Association — India's first holistic Art & Culture based startup registered with Startup India — Aniket conceptualised PAaaS (Performing Arts As A Service): an integrated framework that delivers drama, music, dance and film to corporates, NGOs, educators and communities. His performing arts training modules were officially launched by the Union Minister of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Shri Rajeev Chandrashekhar.
As a filmmaker and actor, Aniket served as the Associate Director of the urban Gujarati feature film Safalta 0 Km (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) and acted in the web series The Great Dhamaal Chokdi (Airtel Xstream). He has designed, directed and executed over 10,000 plays across street theatre, skits, one-acts and three-act productions; his research paper "Bhavai and Its Cultural Sustainable Development" was presented at the UNESCO-patronised International Conference on Intangible Cultural Heritage. He also serves as a Visiting Faculty and Innovator at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda.
