About

I started at TalkEsport in 2015 as a video editor. Eleven years later, I stopped counting what falls under my job description. Director and Chief Editor now. TalkEsport does 80M+ monthly impressions across YouTube (500K+ subs), Instagram, and the website (30M+ monthly views). The YouTube channel went from 14K to 250K subscribers in 45 days once. People still ask how. It was mostly just not sleeping. On the brand side, I work with some of India's biggest names in gaming, energy, and peripherals on campaigns built around what a gaming audience actually responds to. I studied Film and Media Production at New York Film Academy. Had a Political Science and Computer Science background before that, which probably explains why I'm equally obsessed with the content and the ops behind it.

The title changed. The actual job was always this. I run TalkEsport end to end: content, editorial, brand deals, hiring, strategy, and whatever falls through the cracks on any given day. The platform does 40M+ monthly impressions now across YouTube (500K+ subs), Instagram, and the website (30M+ monthly views). Most of that was figured out in real time.

Took over editorial when TalkEsport needed a direction, not just content. Built the workflows, set the tone, and pushed SEO hard enough that web traffic went up 50%+. The YouTube channel went from 14K to 250K+ subscribers in 45 days during this stretch. I wish I could say there was a masterplan. There was mostly just a deadline.

Head of Media Production

Apr 2014 – May 2018 · 4 yrs 1 mo · On-site

Started here as the person who made things look good on screen. Ended up building the entire production side from scratch: workflows, shoots, post, publishing. Nobody gave me a playbook because there wasn't one. Kolkata to Mumbai, video editing to running a media company. It started here.
