Ramesh Raparthi

Filmmaker | Entrepreneur | Creative Visionary

Ramesh Raparthi is a Filmmaker /Entrepreneur. Known for his ability to merge storytelling with innovation across disciplines—cinema, sound, design strategy, and culinary arts. His creative journey spans from the cultural landscapes of India to West Africa, where he has directed films and crafted immersive audiovisual experiences that emphasise authenticity and emotional resonance.

Under his leadership, TIA is driving innovation through initiatives such as Pop-Up Cinemas, aimed at expanding cinema access in underserved regions. Ramesh is also focused on fostering Indo-African creative collaborations through co-productions with Nollywood and regional film industries.

Ramesh’s mission is to help bridge the gap between African and Indian creative industries, and to contribute meaningfully to the growth of Africa’s entertainment landscape.

African Journey

Embracing the emerging Yoruba movie landscape and television realm, he immersed himself in the rich tapestry of Nigerian storytelling. This immersion allowed him to not only understand the nuances of Yoruba cinema but also to contribute his own artistic perspective, bridging the gap between cultures, and integrating into the Nigerian creative community. His distinctive approach to filmmaking is influenced by both Indian and Nigerian sensibilities.
