Prateek Arora

Prateek Arora is a screenwriter and visual artist based in India who blends speculative fiction and AI to create surreal, cinematic, and often haunting artwork. He moves between worldbuilding for screen and image-making for the internet, shaping a distinct creative voice rooted in science fiction, horror, and Indian urban life. Arora is currently VP of development at the global content studio BANG BANG Mediacorp.

Arora’s AI artworks were among the first in India to gain mass attention on a global scale. His images of cyborgs working at construction sites, amphibious rickshaws on flooded streets, floating apartment blocks above the city skyline, and spectral figures roaming Old Delhi by night reimagine the Indian city, helped catalyse the country’s AI art movement and built a cult Instagram following. Arora is widely regarded as a central figure in Indofuturism, a growing movement that imagines Indian futures untethered from colonial, Western or techno-utopian frameworks. His work has appeared in Cosmopolitan, Grazia, and WePresent, and has been covered by The Indian Express, Deccan Chronicle and The Economic Times.
