After receiving her photography education at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, she co-founded Lucida-an art, research and education driven photographers’ collective.

She hopes to utilize her background in visual communication and information technology to explore the notion of experientiality through multiple media platforms. A self-proclaimed film buff and a fledgling filmmaker, Suruchi Dumpawar has a keen interest in digital storytelling.
