Aamchi Mumbai: An Aerial Perspective
See Mumbai like never before. From the iconic Gateway of India to the hidden lanes of Dadar, I capture the city's scale, architecture, and daily pulse from the sky.

About this collection
I use a hybrid workflow, combining high-resolution drone footage with crisp ground-level shots to tell a complete story. Whether you need aerial marketing assets for a property or cinematic reels of our city’s landmarks, my setup is optimized for social media with 4K clarity and vibrant, pre-graded colors ready to post.
Aerial photography changes how we perceive space. Ground-level shots show us what is in front of us, but a drone reveal shows us how a building sits in its environment, how the coastline curves against the urban sprawl, and the sheer density of a place like Malad or Dadar. As a DGCA certified drone pilot, I bring that top-down perspective to professional projects, ensuring safety and compliance while getting the angles that matter.
My work often centers on the 'modern-heritage jugalbandi'—the interplay between our colonial-era architecture, like the Rajabai Clock Tower, and the glass-and-steel high-rises that define modern Mumbai. This dual perspective is essential for real estate documentation, architectural showcases, and tourism promotion.

I’m a Mumbai-born pilot and visual storyteller, and this city is in my veins. My goal isn’t just to fly a drone; it’s to show you the aamchi Mumbai that dances between ancient heritage and modern chaos.
