Over the last few decades India has gradually seen the emergence of a contemporary Architectural Culture of exceptional caliber. Unfortunately outside the sub-continent much of the major works remain unknown and the names of the practitioners unfamiliar.

Overcoming the drawbacks of working in a third world country and the socio-economic realities of the Indian society, Nitish Roy dares to dream and explore designs and dimensions. He feels it is his privilege to work in India and is convinced we compare with the finest work being produced elsewhere.

A graduate of the Government Art College, Kolkatta. He began his career as a commercial artist in an advertising agency, and would design interiors for friends and acquaintances as well. His designs for exhibition pavilions fetched him appreciation and prizes too. The hunger to do more creative work and the enthusiasm to break away from the traditional and conventional designs took him to film set designing, where he explored new dimensions, experimented with colours, shapes and various forms and became a trend setter and established himself as a leading art director and production designer and trained several present day art directors.

Film Art direction enabled him to perfect his skills in realistic recreation. He is the recipient of the National Award 3 times for the films:

• Kharij - Directed by Mr.Mrinal Sen (1982)
• Mandi - Direceted by Mr.Shyam Benegal (1983)
• Lekin - Directed by Mr.Gulzar (1991)

I have started writing my biography and named it “ART IN ART DIRECTION”. This will be an interesting record of my experience of my professional life and also will be very help full for the students of Art Direction.

We have launched our own production company named it “MODERN TIMES FILMS” for dynamic themes. We started working on our own directorial venture “TUM TUM NAHIN, MAIN MAIN NAHIN”.

We also designed a new game called “YUGA THE GAME”. Yuga will be featured as a total conversion for the Unreal Tournament 3 game. It will be ideally ported for the Play Station 3. Yuga is a completely fictitious story conceived as one of the ‘untold’ mythological Indian stories.
