Kusuma Santapoori is helping establish AI filmmaking as a credible creative medium in India. Over the past year, she has co-led Floating Tiger Films in building production-ready AI filmmaking pipelines that enable brands to create cinematic storytelling with greater speed, scale, and visual ambition while preserving strong creative direction.

Under her leadership, the studio has worked with more than 50 brands and produced award-winning AI-driven content, demonstrating that generative AI can extend, rather than replace, traditional filmmaking. Floating Tiger Films has helped brands embrace AI as a serious storytelling medium capable of creating emotionally engaging, high-quality visual narratives.

Santapoori believes India's AI transformation is extending far beyond technology companies into creative industries, education, entrepreneurship, and everyday business. She believes AI can reshape how stories, brands, and cultural experiences are imagined and produced.
