One such visionary in the world of storytelling and advertisement is Arunraj Kartha, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of ARK Productions, a leading ad film-making firm.
With over 20 years of extensive experience, Arunraj Kartha has carved a niche for himself in the ad filmmaking industry. From an industrial chemist to one of India’s most celebrated creative directors, his journey is nothing short of inspiring.

Kartha’s transition from industrial chemistry to filmmaking was fueled by a passion for storytelling. Initially working on a few documentaries and travel films, his real turning point came with a project for Double Horse, a leading Kerala brand, which marked his foray into independent ad filmmaking. His motivation lies in the drive to create films that go beyond superficial advertising, telling stories that resonate on a deeper level.

With offices in both Mumbai and Kochi, ARK Productions works with a wide range of prestigious brands, solidifying its position as a go-to firm for impactful ad campaigns.
When asked about his leadership approach, Kartha emphasizes the importance of teamwork. To him, a successful ad is the result of every team member playing a vital role, from the director to the costume stylist. His leadership style is one that encourages collaboration, creativity, and a shared sense of purpose. This, he believes, fosters innovation and a drive to continually push the boundaries of storytelling.
