Sayandip Sikder, then a class 10th student, had discovered his passion for filmmaking. All he wanted to do is to tell a story. Hence that made him write his first short love story which he shot in a camcorder with his family members only. That amateur film gave him the adrenaline push to write more and dig into the industry. From his high school days, he started writing for his school dramas which made him enter a professional production house (Aditya Productions) where he was interning in the content development team and actively participated in the promotional write-ups for media for the film Me and My Girlfriends. He joined engineering with a good JEE rank but dropped out in the second semester as he was determined that he wants to pursue his career in films and not in engineering. He waited for a year to prepare himself mentally and finally ended up joining media sciences at The Heritage Academy. Sayandip works as a freelance Director, Associate Director, and Chief Assistant Director based in Mumbai and Kolkata. He is been associated with reputed production houses like Endemolshine India, Reliance Entertainment, Paper Plane Pictures, Good morning Films, Chalk and Cheese, Oink Films for TVCs, Digital Ads, and Corporate Films. He has also produced and directed more than 15 independent short films. Many of them won awards in National and International Film Festivals, and some of them are streaming on OTT channels as well. He is working in the industry for the last 6 years as of 2022.
