Jijo Sengupta is a name synonymous with passion, dedication, and innovation in the world of filmmaking. His journey from a small town in India to the bustling studios of Hollywood exemplifies the power of dreams and the relentless pursuit of excellence. With a BS in New Media and Interactive Technologies and an MFA with a specialization in VFX from the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, Jijo has carved a niche for himself in the competitive realm of cinema.

In 2017, he founded AAJ Media Productions, bringing together a powerhouse team of creative minds across India and the US. But his vision didn’t stop at creating impactful films—it extended to empowering the next generation of storytellers.
