Kamlesh Acharya

Kamlesh is an NIT Calicut Engineer and an SP Jain MBA by qualification, an advertiser by profession, an award-winning film-maker by ramification, a writer by passion, a thinker through introspection, a seeker through meditation, and a healer through compassion.

As Computer Engineer, he worked with Zensar Technologies, Oracle India, and Emirates Airlines before pursuing MBA, after which he engaged in IT and Business Consulting with KPMG Dubai. While the corporate world kept him engaged, Kamlesh's heart yearned for storytelling so he quit KPMG and returned to India to pursue his passion of storytelling. He has since published a poetry book ‘Kindle the Spirit’ which won 'The Best English Poetry Book' award at Lit-O-Fest Mumbai, and co-authored the Indian No.1 Bestselling book ‘Ahmedabad Rathyatra – A Journey of Miracles.’

Beyond books, he is also an award-winning playwright, filmmaker, director and actor. His plays have won awards and performed across India and Dubai. He has also made many award-winning short films, the latest two of which received Official Selection from the reputed Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival. All this, while advertising satiates his daily hunger for creative writing.

He considers himself a seeker, and his writings, irrespective of the form, delve into the spiritual philosophy and feel like a deep dive into the search for the Self.

P.S. His award-winning short films are available on YouTube channel ‘Kamfucious Productions’ and ‘Pocket Films’.
