Ashutosh Potdar has one-act and full-length dramas, poems, short stories and scholarly essays in Marathi and English to his credit. As Suktara Ghosh writes, " Hailing from a village near Kolhapur, he grew up entrenched in the Warkari tradition with its exposure to bhajans and other traditional arts"

Two collections of his plays in Marathi are published by Watermark Publication. "His collection (published by Watermark Publication, Pune) of four plays, underlines the "in-between" nature of the 'sophisticated' spaces which replace an old social order in exchange for a spanking neighbourhood with designated 'play areas' and club houses." , writes Sumedha Raikar-Mhatre.

His plays are performed through festivals like Bharat Rang Mahotsav, NSD, New Delhi, Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai, International Theatre Festival of Kerala, and different other venues in India. He is the recipient of a number of awards such as Maharashtra Foundation Award, Aswaghosh Award given by Bodhi Natya Parishad, Best Play-writing award given by Natya Parishad and Ram Ganesh Gadkari Award given by Government of Maharashtra.

Ashutosh is an executive editor of हाकारा । hākārā, a peer-reviewed bilingual journal of creative expression publishing online in Marathi and English.
