Anuj Alia’s inception was under the charismatic Ad guru Prahlad Kakad in Genesis. For somebody starting his career in the late nineties under Prahlad when advertising was in full bloom, life was indeed hectic but extraordinarily educational. His formative years were thus spent imbibing the finer points in direction and hard-core production logistics.  He was working with the best team in India.

Next in line was a rollicking stint with another great technician and filmmaker par excellence. Deven Khote at UTV.  Under Deven Anuj had the opportunity to work on very large campaigns that were very successful. He was learning detailing in film work under a master craftsman.

Tutored under two stalwarts in ad filmmaking, Anuj now felt the need to understand the core essence of the art form. The brand! He joined Sacchi to hone his skills and was soon interacting with both clients and filmmakers. He graduated to become the national films head and was working with most big production houses in India. 

Anuj was now ready to dive into the industry as a filmmaker himself as his skills had been sharpened and knowledge of the “Brand” acquired.  He joined Fingerprint Films as their in-house director and has been working with us for the last three years. During these years he has grown as a technician and has executed few successful campaigns.

He is today a very accomplished filmmaker who narrates stories with finesse and ease. His agency background and the skills he acquired interacting with both creative and client gives him an added advantage. He knows what the brand needs and what needs to be done.  Anuj regularly shoots films in Kenya and has actually launched many brands like Google in the country.
