Indian American actor, writer, and producer Mindy Kaling has unveiled her latest endeavor—a MasterClass dedicated to guiding aspiring creatives through the art of scriptwriting and carving out their own path to success.

The course, titled *Scripting Your Own Success*, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Kaling's approach to storytelling, her career-defining strategies, and how she broke barriers in the entertainment industry. Launched through MasterClass, the popular online learning platform known for hosting industry leaders, Kaling's class is designed to inspire individuals to take charge of their creative ambitions.

The lessons delve into her unique process for developing relatable characters, crafting engaging narratives, and navigating the challenges of the entertainment world. Kaling, celebrated for her work on The Officer and The Mindy Project, shares personal anecdotes and professional insights, providing participants with actionable steps to build their own success stories.

Commenting on the new project, Kaling said, "I remember what it was like to be an ambitious 19-year-old kid who had zero access," Kaling said.

That is why I am doing this class on MasterClass—to share the nitty-gritty details of how I got to be where I am, from my perspective. I hope this class can help provide that access to young people."
