Founder & Executive Producer

Bratman Films is a producer-led production house in Mumbai. Commercials, branded content and visual stories, made with the right directors, crews and collaborators for the job.

Bharath came up through both sides of the business. A direction diploma at Whistling Woods International. Films manager on the Publicis films desk under Jignesh “Jiggy” Maru and CCO Bobby Pawar, then agency producer at JWT. Then the production side: associate producer desks at Bang Bang Mediacorp and SNIPER inside The 120 Media Collective, and at Fingerprint Films.

Before the agency years, he was already on set: second AD on a Toshiba commercial for Hakuhodo featuring Sachin Tendulkar, shot across Jodhpur and London, around 2011. During the Publicis years, assistant director on Tagore Almeida’s “A God of Sinners”, screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner in 2013, starring a pre-breakout Shashank Arora.

He started Bratman Films in December 2017. The first job was on the floor within days: a four-film series for UrbanClap.
