He started writing poems at the age of nine and self-published his debut poetry collection, Samay Holo Je Jabar, in 2023. Since then, he has released several other books, available on various online platforms.

Hrit’s cinematic journey began with his directorial debut in 2017. That same year, he founded the musical band Soulmate, where he contributed as a lyricist and guitarist. Though the band later disbanded, it added a unique layer to his artistic portfolio. By 2018, he was working as an assistant director on Bengali mega-serials, gaining valuable experience in the world of television. In 2019, he launched his production house, BluemindS Production, focusing on independent, thought-provoking cinema.

While he doesn’t formally consider himself an actor, Hrit has appeared in numerous theatre productions and films—roles that have been well received. His affinity for performance often draws him back to the stage and screen. He believes,

> “A good director creates an environment which gives an actor the courage to fly.”

Hrishant is also the co-owner of Hritati Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., alongside Bratati Banerjee. This venture spans across publishing, event management, photography, and more, reflecting his entrepreneurial spirit.

His work—whether on the page, behind the camera, or in front of it—is known for emotional depth, introspection, and social awareness. His psychology background lends nuance to his artistic lens, helping him explore the complexities of human emotion with rare sensitivity.

Over the years, Hrit has received numerous awards at prestigious film festivals for his contributions to both literature and cinema. Admired not only for his creative output but also for his thoughtful and philosophical perspective, he remains a rising voice in contemporary Bengali culture.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hrit extended his impact beyond the arts. He founded an NGO to support the poor and unemployed, and as the General Secretary of the International Social Welfare Organization of Jiyonkathi, he helped many during challenging times.

He is also known for his bold, thought-provoking quotes that reflect his worldview and artistic ideology:

> “If the revolution is never born in the heart of the exploited people, this world is just a football.”

“The opposite of right is not always wrong. My friend, sometimes it is left too.”
