Etush Bansal — CEO
Xploring new territories has been my 15 year journey in the media industry and only getting stronger everyday. With experience starting from being a Graphic Designer to Sales Executive, Non-Fiction Reality Producer to Associate Creative Director, A Documentary FilmMaker to Fiction Film Producer. The room for ordinary has been limited. Having worked with BBC, Fremantle and UTV extensively on many Non-Fiction reality shows like India’s Got Talent, Dadagiri, Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi, Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa in the initial days of exploring the Indian TV space, gave a keen insight understanding the nerve and taste of the Indian Audience. With the Digital boom yet to explode in India, joined the online space with the leaders of independent content production in the year 2016, 101 India. Along the journey, it opened many horizons and mindset to see the content differently. Directed and Produced branded content, Documentaries, Travel Shows, CSR Films and Ad films for various platforms and brands alike History TV, Discovery, Nat Geo, Raid De Himalayas, Tata Motors, Maruti MotorSports, RFYS, NBA, DSP BlackRock, Myntra, Invisalign and India’s biggest live music show Straight Up Punjab for Sony Music. Covid lockdown, set me up for a new journey, and this time as a Series Director. Recent experience has been on projects with Netflix, YouTube Originals, Discovery, Royal Enfield, IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants, Major League Baseball (MLB). Finally, I am making my way into fiction having produced a regional Punjabi Fiction Film ‘Rode College’, currently under post production (due to release in late 2023).
