In the dust of small towns and the glow of bustling innovation hubs, a quiet revolution is unfolding. Filmmaker and actor Shashie Vermaa’s new directorial venture Bharat Startup Yatra is a cinematic expedition into the beating heart of India’s next big transformation. Rather than just documenting places, the series dives deep into the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship sweeping across the country, capturing powerful stories of ambition, resilience, and change.

“I started my career facing the camera,” Vermaa says, “but somewhere along the journey, I became obsessed with what happens behind it-especially when the stories are real, raw, and rooted in the soil of this country.”
