Born in Mumbai, India on 8 April 1977, Sameer was raised in the city until aged 7, when his family shifted base to The Netherlands. Growing up in The Hague exposed him to art, architecture and photography. Combined with a native interest in philosophy, theosophy and history, Sameer realised modes of expression for individual thought and style.

Alongside his study in economics and marketing, a passion for films encouraged Sameer to pursue a strong sense of visual identity, drama and characterisation. It was in his early 20s that Sameer aligned artistic and commercial skills to develop projects in The Hague. |
At 27, having moved to London years earlier, Sameer commenced pre-production on his debut feature film Delhi Boom! He wrote, shot, directed, and edited it. The road to completion would be 2 years long and folllowing its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival 2007, Delhi Boom! is appreciated for its unique and experimental quality. |
