POV Lecture 3: My Bombay Journey

MY BOMBAY JOURNEY - How to become a local in 45 minutes

When was the last time you attended a lecture in a pub, listening to a bright creative mind opening up a new world while sipping on your favourite beer?

Welcome to Pint of View, Mumbai’s first-ever community where cutting-edge research meets craft cocktails, where curious minds gather over drinks to unravel the threads of human culture.

We’re delighted to present Siddhaarth Aalambayan, the head of content & brand solutions at Fork Media Group. Siddhaarth also leads Mashable India, Hauterrfly, Curly Tales, and IGN India. He earlier co-founded ILN Studios at Times Internet and built Firstpost Studio.

In this talk Siddhaarth will walk you through his Bombay journey that includes spending 25 years in the media and entertainment industry—first as a child actor in three films, five serials, and an ad, and today as one of India’s leading branded content voices. A protégé of Shyam Benegal, he calls Mumbai both his teacher and canvas, often joking he’s the “unofficial ambassador of the vada pav.”
