About

I am a filmmaker and startup advisor based in New York City. I currently attend NYU’s Tisch Graduate School of the Arts where I am focused on writing, directing and editing. I love watching films, but love making them more. My film website (and blog) is Tatvam Media.

Before making the shift to film, I worked in the business and technology world for several years. Most recently, I was Vice President of Product Marketing and Platform at eBay (a $400 million business). I’ve also held roles in Corporate Strategy and ran the Product Strategy and Product Management organizations.

I serve on the board of Values Art Foundation, PhotoShelter and the advisory board of Kiva. My detailed professional profile is here.

I am an MFA Candidate at NYU, have an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics from Stella Maris College, Madras University, India.

I grew up in Madras, India and have lived in Boston, San Francisco and Menlo Park before moving to New York. I currently live in Manhattan with my husband, twin toddler boys, our thousands of books and many gadgets.

I’ve come to love my name, Shripriya, which I quite hated when I was a child. I prefer it not be shortened to Shri.
