Getting trained under Ms. Shalini has been one of my best learning experiences. She shaped
my early career as an excellent mentor and teacher which helped me choose the best
organisations and teams to work with in my career.
She has been my anchor for many years now and as always, motivated me even when things
were not so great in my professional life.
I’m grateful that I got trained under her during my student days and later.

Shalini was one of my first mentors as I ventured into the world of Filmmaking. It was her patience and guidance that helped me understand the basics. She is an EXCELLENT teacher and a KIND human being. She will stand by you and support you at every stage of your learning. I love her process. She gives you a free space to think and explore, which is key when you are entering a new field.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn the art of documentary filmmaking under the guidance of Ms. Shalini Raghaviah. Her passion for the subject and dedication to teaching left a lasting impression on me. Ms. Raghaviah has a remarkable ability to inspire and nurture creativity. She encouraged us to think outside the box, push our boundaries, and tell stories that truly matter. Her hands-on approach to teaching allowed us to learn by doing, which is invaluable in the world of filmmaking.
She was always approachable and open to our ideas, creating a collaborative and nurturing learning environment.
In addition to technical expertise, she instilled in us a deep appreciation for storytelling and the power of documentaries to shed light on important issues. She emphasized the ethical responsibilities that come with documentary filmmaking, teaching us to approach our subjects with sensitivity and respect.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication to your students and the art of storytelling.
