01 · The Story

Every rally starts with footwork.

A Kolkata commerce kid who learned business on factory floors and dealer counters before betting everything on the creative economy. This is the story of how discipline, rhythm, and timing became a way of working — and how one player decided to change courts.

The Timeline

Follow the shuttle down the court.

  1. 2017–2018 · CLASS X

    Aditya Birla Vani Bharati

    First stage performances, first badminton tournaments — where discipline and rhythm both started.

  2. 2019–2020 · CLASS XII

    Shri Jain Vidyalaya

    Commerce

    Chose numbers, kept the creative pulse alive on the side.

  3. 2020–2023 · B.COM (HONS)

    The Bhawanipur Education Society College

    Accounting & Finance

    Started freelancing in digital marketing during college — first clients, first edits, first paid creatives. Three years of building craft quietly alongside the degree.

  4. JUL–DEC 2023

    Oriental Publishers

    Operations Intern

    First taste of real workflows: vendor coordination, dispatch, reporting. Learned that execution beats ideas that never ship.

  5. JAN–AUG 2024

    Shyam Steel Industries

    Senior Executive, Operations

    The ground game. Dealer coordination across Bihar, working with 80+ field sales executives, 25+ active dealers, market visits, dealer meets, MIS and sales tracking. Learned how business actually moves outside a screen.

  6. THE SHIFT · CHANGING COURTS

    A harder, truer game

    A steady corporate track versus the creative pull he'd been building for three years. The realisation: brand-building's future sits at the intersection of creativity, content, and AI — and he was already fluent in all three.

  7. 2024–PRESENT

    Frame & Flux

    Co-Founder & Frame Lead

    Co-founded a creative & social media studio; scaled to ~₹1.5L monthly turnover; leads client acquisition, pitching, and creative operations; built and runs a 14+ member team (12 interns, 2 full-time); delivery across Kolkata & Delhi.

03 · Off the Court

Badminton and dance aren't hobbies.

They're his operating system. Read the opponent. Keep rhythm. Place the shot where it can't be returned. The same instinct that wins a rally is the one that builds a brand — patience, timing, and the confidence to commit at the exact right moment.
