Who Are We … And What The Heck Is A Pickle Jar?

Meet Vasanthi Hariprakash, Pickle-In-Chief

Vasanthi is a seasoned journalist, radio host, and storyteller who can never say no to a good conversation. Legend goes that she can even talk to (and extract responses from) a rock.

Pickle Jar, founded by Vasanthi in 2016, is an extension of her life philosophy – a little bit of everything that makes us think and feel deeply… a little bit of everyone that makes us a vigorous, thriving community. Like an Indian pickle jar, it is a mélange of ingredients, fusing into that perfect blockbuster of flavour!

Our Patrons & Partners Speak For Us

“As the name suggests so piquantly, Pickle Jar curates a variety of media ideas – sharply produced journalistic pieces, curated events such as successful film festivals, virtual conferences, blogs/vlogs/podcasts, and community building events. This is one venture to look out for given Vasanthi’s relentless drive and ability to accomplish her objectives. I wish team Pickle Jar the very best!”

“I have, of course, been to many film festivals, but with the kind of warmth at the Pickle Jar Film Festival, it feels like a ghar ka function.”
