Experience

1. Chief Happiness Officer

   Frolic Fields Festival

   Jun 2023 — Present · Mumbai, IN

   Frolic Fields began with a simple realization — as a father, I was constantly searching for spaces where my child could learn, play, and simply be a kid… and I noticed there just weren’t many in Mumbai that offered that in a meaningful way.What started as a spark of curiosity — “Can we create something joyful for kids and families to share together?” — grew into Frolic Fields Fest, a vibrant, immersive celebration of childhood, community, and creativity. Fast forward to today, and it’s grown into one of the most exciting children’s festivals in the city.My role? I make sure joy is at the center of everything we do. From storytelling tents to sensory art zones, I curate spaces that feel magical — not just for kids, but for the adults who get to relive a bit of their own childhood too. Seeing those smiles? That’s my job description. Key Highlights • Conceptualized and scaled a successful family festival format — blending entertainment, education, and emotion • Partnered with 50+ brands to co-create engaging activations that offer real value to attendees • Curated multi-sensory zones: art, music, storytelling, STEM play, and wellness for kids • Built a festival community that continues to grow year after year — with returning families and loyal partners What keeps me going? Seeing the sparkle in a child’s eye — and knowing we created that moment.
