He taught Film and TV production in Bombay (at St. Xavier's College's "Institute of Mass Communication") during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He worked as a freelance journalist and critic and served on the censor board for a while.

Parag came to NYU and got an MA (and then a PhD as well) in Film Studies from the Tisch Shool of the Arts.

He has a couple of published essays on Mrinal Sen. One on his film "Akaler Sandhaney" in "McGill's Encyclopaedia of World Cinema." He has a more recent essay on an early film of his ("Bhuvan Shome") in an anthology of essays on him edited by Sumita Chakravarty. That book is titled "The Enemy Within," and it was published in 2000.

He has taught film history and film studies in a number of campuses of the CUNY system (principally at La Guardia Community College in the Humanities Department, and at Queens College in the Media Studies Department) between 1987 and last year.

At the moment, Parag Amladi has taken time off from teaching to work on a feature film project of his own, and he is working on the writing at this early stage.
