Chandigarh:
Haresh Sippy, Chairman and Managing Director of TEMA India, has long been known for building critical infrastructure for India’s nuclear energy sector. But today, he’s capturing attention in an entirely different arena: cinema.
After playing a key role in launching India’s first private facility for Depleted Heavy Water Upgradation—developed in partnership with NPCIL and BARC under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative—Sippy has turned to a new kind of construction: building stories from raw human emotion.
Under the creative identity of Tapan Ghosh, Sippy leads Sippy Productions, a film outfit focused on emotionally honest, vertically shot, mobile-first cinema. His unique style—known as Scriptless Cinema—involves no structured dialogues or traditional screenplays. Instead, actors are encouraged to improvise, bringing real-life experiences and vulnerability into each performance.
“What I build for the nation with steel, I now build for the soul with cinema,” he says.
With over 25 experimental films completed—many featuring first-time actors—Sippy’s work has quietly built an online following. His film Anban Soulmates Mein recently crossed 7 million views on YouTube, while others like SoBo Ki Nakchadi have sparked conversations around identity, healing, and social connection.
What sets Sippy apart is the way he blends engineering precision with creative chaos. In both his factory floor and his film sets, structure and experimentation go hand in hand. “Whether it’s vacuum distillation columns or emotional expression—if it doesn’t flow naturally, it doesn’t work,” he says.
As his cinematic journey gathers momentum, Haresh Sippy is proving that innovation isn’t limited to one industry. Whether he’s designing complex nuclear systems or redefining indie storytelling, the goal remains the same: creating impact that lasts.
