   Feb 2022 — Present · Mumbai, IN

   Currently: Creative Lead and Creator of the JioHotstar reality show: India’s Ultimate MotoStar: A branded content IP created for Castrol Power1. As Creative Lead, I oversaw every stage of production - from scripting to working with our host Karan Kundrra on anchor links and even directing the video diary segments with contestants. Following which I also oversaw the edit and final airing of the show on MTV & JioHotstar. The show aired on MTV and JioHotstar in June 2024 to rave reviews.Other work at JioHotstar: May 2023 onwards: Became part of the JioHotstar Brand Communications team and oversaw the creative development and execution of title marketing content for JioHotstar’s massive content slate that released between 2023 & 2024. Jan 2022 onwards: Supervised the creative development and production for branded content projects across the JioHotstar Media network which included marquee channels like Colors TV, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and more. In my first month here, I cracked a brief for the iconic Imperial Blue “Men Will Be Men\" communication and was instrumental in weaving a Holi campaign built around our biggest stars from Bigg Boss. Since then, I’ve overseen branded content projects in collaboration with Amazon miniTV, Garnier, Castrol POWER1 and more. These projects have ranged from in-show integrations to full-fledged web series’.As a Creative Professional, my biggest joy is watching branded content solutions that I’ve conceptualised - come to life on TV and OTT!
