After completing his formal education, he undertook specialised professional training in animation, compositing and visual effects through advanced diploma programmes, gaining technical proficiency in animation pipelines, VFX workflows and digital media production.
Career
Early career (2007–2014)
Bharati began his career in the animation and visual effects sector, working as an animator, background artist and cleanup artist on short films and development initiatives. His early professional experience included participation in media projects linked to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
From 2010 to 2013, he was associated with Sony Pictures Networks India as a Creative Designer. During this period, he contributed to broadcast design, promotional campaigns and on-air graphics for channels such as Sony Entertainment Television, Sony MAX, Sony SAB and Sony PIX. His work supported major properties including the Indian Premier League, Indian Idol and Kaun Banega Crorepati.
In 2014, Bharati worked briefly as a Graphics Consultant with Reliance MediaWorks Ltd., providing creative support for digital and broadcast initiatives.
Entrepreneurship and content production
SplitMirrorPictures
In 2015, Bharati expanded his role as a producer by taking on responsibilities as Managing Director of SplitMirrorPictures. Through the company, he has overseen the production of educational content, television commercials, feature films and digital series.
His work includes a VFX-intensive television commercial produced for the Ministry of Petroleum, Government of India, which received international broadcast exposure. He has also directed the development of more than 600 curriculum-based training modules on post-production software for APTECH.
Bharati has managed multi-disciplinary creative teams exceeding 40 members and has served as showrunner on large-format projects, including a 330 one-take uncut commercial film initiative associated with a Guinness World Record attempt in 2021.
ScriptDuniya
In 2018, Bharati founded ScriptDuniya, an online platform designed to facilitate connections between writers and content buyers. The marketplace enables creators to present scripts across genres and formats while offering producers access to structured and verified content submissions.
Bantagram
In 2019, Bharati launched Bantagram, a B2B managed marketplace focused on film and television content rights. The platform supports the acquisition and distribution of content across languages, formats and international territories.
Bantagram is a DPIIT-recognised startup and has been incubated at STPI Guwahati and under the NASSCOM 10,000 Startups initiative. The platform was highlighted as an innovative media-technology startup at the 54th International Film Festival of India held in Goa in 2023.
Writing and systems thinking
Bharati is the author of multiple works addressing structured personal development, including The 4 Worlds We Live In, The Art of Expression and Don’t Start With Why, Start With What. His writing challenges inspiration-led self-help models and instead promotes systems-based methods focused on discipline, alignment and repeatable behavioural processes.
In 2025, he introduced the Self Rebuild Challenge under the Alignment Tribe initiative. The programme is a structured 60-day framework aimed at individuals seeking sustainable behavioural change through reflection, accountability and consistent practice.
Philosophy and approach
Bharati’s approach is rooted in the view that long-term personal change is driven by structured systems rather than fluctuating motivation. His work emphasises identifying behavioural patterns, aligning personal identity with action and creating frameworks that function effectively regardless of emotional state.
Languages
Bharati is fluent in Hindi and English and possesses working knowledge of Marathi.
