Sudip Sharma

Sudip Sharma, a 2002 IIM-Ahmedabad pass out who has worked with some of the biggest giants of the FMCG sector had a career so high on laying golden eggs that a normal person would not even think of having an alternate career which might become an experiment turned disastrous and ruin the financials too! But then there are men like Mr Sharma who have the guts and take the risks head on.

Sudip comes from a humble middle class family based out of Guwahati, a place where he spent his childhood and fanned his passion for movies by watching movies at the Apsara Cinema, Paltan Bazaar, at home on Doordarshan and finally watching the Bruce Lee Bruce Lee, a true legend and a philosopher, was an >> Read More... movie in the form of the VHS tapes which could be rented out of the money he used to get as pocket money. He did his graduation from Hindu College, Delhi University, post which he moved on to pursue his MBA at Indian Institute if Management, Ahmedabad which for most of us is the dream college. Sharma says that owing to the conventional middle class culture, he had the options of either becoming a CA or going for MBA. He tried for CA but soon got bored and went to pursue MBA instead. But, a sales profession was not his calling and after a few years of toiling on the field, he decided to try his luck at movies.

Before Players happened, Sharma was also involved in the screenplay writing for ‘Semshook”, which is the story of a Tibetan boy born in India in an exile. This movie got him critical acclaim across the nations as it travelled to and was awarded at various international festivals. It was Semshook that got him his first Bollywood project, Players. He says that the IIM-A cultural upbringing came in handy because he had been used to such hardships and struggles that the debacle of Players did not bog him down. Sharma says that when he looks at his bank accounts, he does feel like swapping them with his batchmates but then when he wakes up in the morning with the feeling that he is doing what he always wanted to, it is more than worth it. NH10 and Udta Punjab have already won him the praise he deserved and we wish him more of it in the coming future.
