She has worked in news, Short Films, Feature Films, Documentary and TV as a Director, Cinematographer, Editor and Producer. The Portrait of a Vagabond was her first film as a professional after her graduation which was inspired by one of the short stories written by Oscar Wilde called Model Millionaire. Her second film Slumberland was inspired by O. Henry's short story called The Cop and The Anthem. Both films explores the issue of homelessness with a twist of comedy time to time. Rima directed The Queens Game which is an inspiring tale of a young female poker player's victory in a game of poker against a mainstream attitude of a young man towards her.

Rima has edited The Portrait of a Vagabond, and Slumberland, Winter Girl, Seasoned, Tohfa, Boy's Night Out and One Fascination. Along with Directing she has developed to specialize in Cinematography because of her passion for learning new cinematic techniques for storytelling. She operated the most professional cinematic cameras such as Red, Arri Alexa, Blackmagic and Sony. She Directed, Produced, Shot and Edited her very first short film in around 2014 which led her to pursue this incredible creative career that gave her new perspective of other cultures and people from around the world. She wants to promote filmmaking craft in her community in India for young girls who are afraid to pursue careers in film or Tv because of the common misconception of the "Film Culture".
Rima visited a village back in India while making a documentary on a lost art of Bhavai (traditional Gujarati theatre form). She has been an activist for environment since her high school time when the school organized an event for planting a thousand trees near by where she participated. Rima believes in making small difference everyday into life that could help benefit the environment and promotes them too.
