🎧 The Ba**ds of Bollywood & Beyond: How Annapurna Alumna Vandana Ramakrishna is Redefining Sound in Cinema

🎬 From the Classrooms of Annapurna to Netflix’s Soundstage

Vandana Ramakrishna, alumna of MA Filmmaking (Class of 2018–2020) at Annapurna College of Film and Media (ACFM), embodies that truth. Today, she is carving her space in the Indian film industry as a Location Sound Recordist, known for her precision, sensitivity, and command over sonic detail.

Her journey from student to professional reflects the Annapurna philosophy: learning through practice, collaboration, and creative exploration. What began as an academic pursuit in sound recording and design has now evolved into a full-fledged career working on high-profile productions.
