About the Book

We are working with Whistling Woods International (WWI) to create a coffee table book celebrating 20 years of the institution, tracing its journey from its origins and founding vision to the people, ideas and challenges that have shaped it along the way. WWI’s own materials highlight the importance of bringing together curriculum, faculty and industry experience, making these an integral part of its story.

Our role is to bring this story together through first-hand conversations with the people who built WWI. These conversations will form the foundation of a rich, visually-led institutional narrative, exploring why WWI was established, how its vision has evolved, and the role of its faculty, curriculum, teaching philosophy and programmes in shaping the institution. The book will also look at WWI’s larger role in the media and entertainment industry and the journey that has brought it to this 20-year milestone.

Written as an institutional legacy book

Features conversations with Founder Subhash Ghai, faculty members, students and alumni

A comprehensive look at the institution’s 20-year journey

Includes reflections from industry experts like Shabana Azmi, Imtiaz Ali and Shashank Khaitan
