He is a graduate of Columbia University with an MFA in Screenwriting and Directing. At Columbia, Dhruv worked as a Teaching Assistant to James Schamus and Robert King and his thesis film INSTAGAYS won the 2022 Phil Johnston Comedy Grant.

He finds himself drawn to comedy and melodrama, often dealing with themes of queerness, community dynamics, racial identity, immigration, and privilege. He is interested in expressionism and a subjectivity characterized by experimentation, theatricality, and highly saturated aesthetics.
