E39: Apoorva Bakshi - The power of local stories to go global

I remember when I watched Delhi Crime, it was gut wrenching, and took me back to the time when news reports were trickling in about Jyoti Singh's gruesome rape and death. The show gave me a chance to understand how the Delhi Police went about nabbing all those involved. The hard hitting docu-drama was awarded the International Emmy Award in November last year, becoming the first show from India to win an Emmy. But the show was initially declined by Netflix. It's this need to champion independent voices that Apoorva Bakshi is most passionate about as her role as a producer. She has also spearheaded National Award winning movies such as Shut Up Sona and Leeches. As one of the youngest producers in South Asia, she is the co-founder of Golden Karavan and Managing Partner at Project Fuel. Apoorva talks about why she chose Richie Mehta's Delhi Crime and the rise of OTT platforms in pushing independent production. Check out Maharani Talks on Instagram: MUSIC: Lights by Sappheiros
