Hi, I'm Shruti — TV writer, emerging filmmaker, and third-culture kid. I've written for several projects in the live-action and animated spaces including SECRET LEVEL, an animated sci-fi show for Amazon, SLIP, a half-hour sci-fi comedy on Peacock, and an unannounced live-action genre show for Netflix. Currently, I’m developing my sci-fi thriller, SAMSARA, and producing an indie comedy I wrote called SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU. I’m also back at Netflix, writing on a new show. I grew up across India, England, and the United States, collecting accents while my parents collected advanced degrees, then studied biology and biochemistry at Michigan while feigning an interest in Big 10 football. I fell in love and moved to Texas after college where I spent a few years working in healthcare tech for big pharmaceutical brands while dabbling in stand-up and improv on nights and weekends. Then, I quit my job to hand-build a cabin in the Colorado wilderness with my husband, wrote my first pilot between bouts of manual labor, and decided to focus on screenwriting upon returning to civilization. I eventually made the shift to LA to work in TV. I love grounded genre and stories about complicated women unboxing themselves. And I still find a lot of inspiration in the sciences, which tends to find its way into my scripts. You can find me on socials at @shrutesnladders, through my reps at WME and Kaplan Perrone, and on tennis courts throughout Los Angeles. Someday, I’d like to direct!
