Background

About Ananya Mody

I bring a unique blend of experience across media, entertainment, finance, and education, with a passion for creating impactful stories that resonate across cultures and mediums. Over the years, I've crafted narratives for globally recognized platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar, adapting international hits for the Indian market and writing original screenplays. My expertise spans from collaborative story development in writers' rooms to strategic adaptations of iconic shows. With a foundation in commerce and accounting, including a Chartered Accountancy qualification and CFA Level 1 certification, I’ve also contributed to the finance industry through roles at Deloitte and KD Gandhi & Co. This finance background gives me a strategic edge in understanding business fundamentals and adds a layer of analytical rigour to my creative pursuits. Recently, I've expanded my international footprint as an English Language Assistant in Spain, leveraging storytelling techniques to enhance language comprehension for students preparing for critical exams. The tables turned recently with my new role at Buzzfeed LATAM based out of Mexico City where my Spanish language skills were put to the test as I worked with Latin American brands and content teams to ensure effective execution, delivery and reporting of creative campaigns. My goal is to continue bridging the worlds of finance, media, and education to deliver value-driven stories and strategies, whether in a writers' room, a classroom, or a boardroom.
