About

Tatvam means reality or inner truth in Sanskrit. My hope to make films that share the reality of the world we inhabit.


Shripriya Mahesh
I am an aspiring filmmaker (and therefore also a struggling writer) in Manhattan, where I live with my husband, twin toddler boys, our thousands of books and many gadgets. I’ve made two short films, and UNTITLED got into a couple of festivals. I love watching films, but I love making them more. I blog about technology and everything else at Almost As Good As Chocolate.

Before making the shift to film, I worked in the business and technology world for several years. Most recently, I was Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Vice President of Product Marketing and Platform at eBay, responsible for business and marketing leadership of all aspects of Buyer and Seller products (a $400 million business). Before that I led Product Strategy and Product Managment at eBay. Prior to joining eBay, I was the Vice President of E-Commerce at NextCard.

I serve on the board of Values Art Foundation and PhotoShelter and the advisory board of Kiva.

I have an MBA from Harvard Business School, a BA in Economics from Stella Maris College, Madras University, India.

My geographic wanderings look like this –
Madras->Cambridge/Boston->San Francisco (and the Bay Area)->New York.
It is up for debate whether Madras or New York is the center of the universe, but I love both.

My detailed professional profile is here.
