Sunny Tripathy is a writer / filmmaker who paid his way through UCLA with day jobs that included working at Jamba Juice. He sold his first TV show to 20th CENTURY FOX out of college and later sold a series with SONY TELEVISION and Will Arnett to AMAZON after a highly competitive bidding war.
Tripathy cut his teeth in features developing his original spec with Ivan Reitman and Amie Karp before selling it to TRISTAR. And quickly went on to write for NETFLIX, SONY PICTURES ANIMATION, and DISNEY where he is adapting a live-action IP with the producers of Lord of the Rings.
In 2024, Sunny was brought on to write his first big animated feature at DREAMWORKS, with David Hoberman producing. And in early 2025, he was 1 of the 15 fellows chosen for Dan Lin's RIDEBACK RISE FELLOWSHIP.

Tripathy is a member of the Writers Guild of America and is represented by UTA, 42, and Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler Feldman.
Food-repreneur
Sunny and his wife Sonia are co-founders of the growing CPG brand Mamas. After a health scare during Covid, the duo -a bit recklessly- invested their savings into a commercial kitchen, determined to cure ailments naturally.
Inspired by their mothers' favorite superfoods, and Sonia's teachings as a scientist at UPenn, the two launched their original line of plant-based snacks and oils in Farmers' Markets. In their first week online, and without any outside capital or ads, they became an Amazon #1 New Release.
Now, with an expanding line of SKUS, Sunny & Sonia are on a lifelong mission to bring simple, non-processed snacks to the masses. They are currently soft-launching into retail, raising a round of funding, and growing their team.
Mamas was accepted into Target's accelerator and, in 2024, welcomed Prakash Janakiraman, Lonna Borden, Jennifer Styles, and Tyler Barth to its board.
