A production house usually gets an idea and figures out how to make it. At Anava, we like to get involved a little earlier. Sometimes the client comes to us with a complete brief. Sometimes it's a problem. Sometimes it's a product. And sometimes it's just a thought.
We take that thought, challenge it, shape it and turn it into an idea worth making.
Then we make it. From creative direction and ideation to scripting, casting, production, direction and post-production, we bring the creative and executional sides of the process together.
That's why we see Anava as an agency-cum-production house.
We don't believe in the gap between the people who think and the people who make.
At Anava, the people who think are also close to the people who make.
"Fewer layers. Faster thinking. Better communication. Ideas that are actually made to work on screen."
Creative vision paired with structured production execution.
Jackson’s journey began with a B.Sc. in Animation & Multimedia, developing a deep understanding of visual storytelling, framing, pacing, and crafting worlds frame by frame.
Working across assistant direction, scripting, producing, and directing, he identified a recurring fracture in the industry: great ideas getting lost in translation between agency thinkers and on-set makers.
“A GREAT PRODUCTION STARTS MUCH BEFORE THE CAMERA STARTS ROLLING.”
As Anava expanded, Jackson’s brother Anjan Khatri joined the team as Producer to fortify the production and execution backbone of the company.
Anjan oversees the complete physical execution machinery — managing complex multi-location shoots, crew assemblies, budgeting, and high-efficiency logistical timelines.
“TURNING CREATIVE VISION INTO SEAMLESS, STRESS-FREE PRODUCTION EXECUTION.”
Together, Jackson and Anjan ensure that client ideas are both creatively groundbreaking and executively flawless.
Based in Mumbai & Delhi. Working wherever the idea takes us.
