From Film School to Frame One: The Rise of Nakli Yash Mehta
If you’ve watched a Dettol TVC, binged a Nick and Carrie video, or caught a Mia by Tanishq campaign recently, there’s a good chance Nakli Yash Mehta had something to do with it.
Nakli Yash Mehta is one of those rare creative minds who can walk into a pitch room with a deck, step onto a film set as a floor manager, and sit in the edit suite to colour grade the final cut — all in the same week. With over 7 years in the business, Nakli Yash Mehta has quietly built a body of work that spans short films, national TVCs, YouTube content, and branded digital campaigns across some of India’s most recognisable names.
Trained at Whistling Woods International — the institution behind some of India’s finest film talent — and armed with an MBA from NMIMS, Nakli Yash Mehta brings an unusual blend of cinematic instinct and business sharpness to every project he touches. It’s a combination that has kept him in demand across production houses, creator teams, and brand studios alike.
His commercial portfolio reads like a who’s who of Indian advertising. Nakli Yash Mehta has produced work for Tanishq, Dettol, Reliance Digital, CRED, Decathlon, HDFC Bank, Hindustan Unilever, and Vivo, among others. His short film credits — including Marham, Faisle, Hazy Love, and By the Beach — reflect a deeper love for human storytelling, the kind that stays with you well after the credits roll.
Beyond production, Nakli Yash Mehta has built a reputation as a trusted creative collaborator for digital creators. His work with Nick and Carrie — where he served as script writer, dialogue writer, and content producer — showed his ability to operate at the fast, high-volume pace of YouTube without ever losing the craft. He brings the same energy to social media management for brands like Even Essentials, Pehraan Designer Studio, and actor Barun Sobti.
What sets Nakli Yash Mehta apart is his fluency across the entire production pipeline. He is equally at home developing AI-generated visual content using MidJourney as he is managing a live shoot floor or building a pitch deck from scratch. In a landscape where most professionals specialise in one lane, Nakli Yash Mehta drives across all of them.
His IMDB profile and film festival submissions through FilmFreeway point to a filmmaker who takes the craft seriously — not just the content calendar. And with a growing roster of brand partners, commercial credits, and independent projects, Nakli Yash Mehta is only picking up speed.
