Early life


Panda hails from Dasharajpur Village, in Subarnapur District of Western Odisha, the youngest of five siblings. Education in a rural Indian village meant a school with no building, and walking 4-9 km daily. In 1995, after failing to graduate, Panda left Delhi and landed the job of a camera attendant. There he learnt the intricacies of filmmaking. He is stated to have studied Entrepreneurship at IIM Bangalore.[5]

His first feature film I Am Kalam became an iconic film winning 34 international awards along with a national award.[8][9] His second feature film Jalpari (Desert Mermaid) received the MIP Junior award at Cannes.[10] He continued making path breaking films like Babloo Happy Hai (Babloo is happy) and Kaun Kitne Paani Mein (In troubled water). His project Kadvi Hawa (Dark wind) was highly rated and critically acclaimed globally and received a national award.[11][12] This is one of the first films that brought climate change into Indian cinema. His feature-length documentary God's own people narrated by Amitabh Bachchan connects between people's faith with tree and God.[13]
