Batch - 1994.
JCMM played a pivotal role in shaping my skills and character with its holistic approach to education. The strong foundation laid during my time there became the bedrock of my future achievements and endeavours. After completing my schooling, I pursued a Master's degree in Mass Communication (Symbiosis College) along with a diploma in Animation and design at Arena Multimedia Institute. This academic journey deepened my knowledge of Media and Communication preparing me for a career in the creative industry.
What followed a was joyful ride of 20 long years of working with all the stalwarts from the entertainment industry in the field of Films, Documentaries, Advertisements and Writing. Persistence paid off well and I achieved my dream of becoming a movie director with my first film “Nazar Andaaz” Embracing my passion for creative expression I also ventured into writing and I became an author with my first book “Shades of Mother”. Looking back on my journey since leaving my school, I cannot overlook my alma mater's profound impact on my development.

Batch - 2013
I have been fortunate enough to be a part of this school and grateful to all the faculties who guided us in the right direction. After pursuing my degree in Civil Engineering from University of Mumbai, I decided to go for higher education here in Australia.
I have completed my Masters Degree in Project Management and currently working as a Project Officer with Australian State Government organisation. It surely was tough to travel to foreign land, away from family and manage all the things by myself, but no one ever said that it was going to be easy. So here I am, 'constructing my dreams'.
