ABOUT PRACHYA VERMA

JOURNALISM & ELECTRONIC MEDIA | CONTENT • MEDIA • RESEARCHMA Journalism & Electronic Media (2023–26).I work with stories — from news articles to films and everything that makes people pause and think.I’ve completed three internships in news and digital media, and I learned early on that media roles rarely come with neat boundaries. So I ended up doing a bit of everything:• Writing 20+ articles, contributing to a 12–18% increase in per-article readership• Using audience data to improve underperforming content (20–25% engagement lift)• Creating posts and reels that crossed cumulative views — no gimmicks, just relevanceI also enjoy hands-on work beyond screens:• Directed an independent short film (700+ views, many lessons)• Ran a college talk show (8 episodes, 1.8k+ views)• Contributed to freelance and event-based media projects, supporting documentation and on-ground coordination for exhibitions like PUNE EXPO and EFY Expo (10k–12k+ footfall)Now here’s the part I genuinely enjoy: research.My paper on -\"The Cinematic Language of Tumbbad\" breaks down how art films communicate visually, using 5 screen-grammar themes and insights from 6 expert interviews, later shaped into structured thematic analysis.I’m currently working on my Master’s dissertation on how political films shape audience thinking, reviewing 20+ academic papers and conducting a 75-responder survey (on-going).Somewhere along the way, I’ve also grown curious about education — not as a fixed path, but as a space where storytelling, research and learning quietly overlap.At heart, I’m just a curious, filmy kid who asks one extra “but why?” and enjoys figuring things out along the way.Open to entry-level, internship or part-time roles inContent | Media | Research | Education
