ABOUT US

We’re the swiss army knife of video content. We conceptualize and create Ad Films (TVCs), Branded Content, Campaign Videos, Film Promotions, Documentaries, Thumbstoppers, and Micro Content.

 

You can call us a Production House or a Video Agency, but at our very core, we’re just a bunch of all-in-ones who love making everything except excuses.

We’re hunting for the extra in the ordinary. We’re hungry to tell purposeful stories. We're driven to create content that truly works. And just like we’ve done it for some of the most exciting brands in the world, we’d love to do it for you.

CLIENTS

TEAM

Imran-Shamsi---Founder-&-Director---What-Works.png

IMRAN SHAMSI

Founder, Director and Idea Hunter

College Dropout turned Corporate Slave turned Entrepreneur. Multitasker with singular agenda of finding what works. Works on vacations and takes imaginary trips at work! Loves wordplay and practising witcraft. Accidentally walked 3kms while pitching on the phone!

Sachi Roy Illustration.png

SACHI ROY

Content Head

Queen of executing projects. A true content addict. Can reference GOT and Doodh Ka Karz in the same sentence. One nudge away from starting her own Bollywood gossip column. Loves Shah Rukh Khan and Khakra. Equally.

Divya_1.png

DIVYA ZAVERI

Finance Head

Likes F.R.I.E.N.D.S more than her actual friends. She’s got accounts on her mind, but her heart’s into words. She enjoys chai and charcha, while handling all the office kharcha. A package deal of HR-Accounts-Admin, an agony aunt to our souls in despair, and the office cutie 𝝅.

Vansh_Icon.png

VANSH MEHTA

Director/Writer

The one who does the “Crazy” in everything. A walking encyclopedia for all things web-related, from the coolest plugins to the newest AI tools. Writes the whackiest, funniest and most hooking scripts that leave you in wonder about human imagination. Aspires to inspire and takes inspiration from everything.

SAAD ANSARI

Writer/Director

The youngest one of the lot, but writes like an old soul. An energizer bunny that never runs out of battery, thanks to the permanent sugar rush he has from chugging Coca-Cola. Has a meme template for every situation, a Manga plug-in for every occasion. Can make a trending reel and write timeless shayari within the same hour.

Ishita_Icon.png

ISHITA MADIWALE

Writer/Director

Everything’s GenZ when she’s around. Her dedication to chai, even in the fiercest afternoon sun, is legendary. She's the office 'swiftie' whose Instagram feed is a visual feast. Singlehandedly brought the office couch back to life. Loves writing scripts for every genre, yet humorously insists, “It’s all borrowed from La La Land!”

ARCHIT GITE

Visual Director

Brings loads of drip with him every morning, drops the best ideas while brainstorming. Doodles his imagination on paper, effortlessly animates them to life. Randomly says, “Broooo…'' somewhere between 5 and 50 million times a day while looking for something to munch on. Gen Z to the core and always ready for a creative challenge.

Lalit.png

LALIT LAL

Masterchef

North se le kar south tak, he has mastered every possible delicacy. As soon as the clock strikes 1 pm, we all secretly long to hear the words ‘khana aa gaya hai’ announced by him. His biryani recipes are so tempting, even those on diets surrender to them.

Mahanand.png

MAHANAND YADAV

Office Controller

Office ka, employees ka, Sushi-Banksy ka, sab ka khayaal rakhta hai Mahanand. From hot coffee to chilled nimbu-paani, he has the power to keep you cool even on stressful days. No matter what the demand, he’ll make sure to get it done, that too with a smile.

Banksy-Sush_2.png

SUSHI & BANKSY

Spoilt Brats

The newest members of the clan, but growing faster than anyone else. Beach trotters, serial nappers, attention cravers. More photogenic than humans. Can hypnotize you into giving them treats. Paws-ing our stress and making ruff days better.

COLLABORATORS

Venky-Puthran---Creative-Director---What-Works.png

VENKY PUTHRAN

Director

Game Developer turned Storyteller. Fuses design, art and life into his stories. Has a hidden stash of toys, bottles and comic books. Discussing Wes Anderson, Banksy and Edgar Wright turns him on. 226 concepts written and counting!

Vibhav-Ameta---Director---What-Works.png

VIBHAV AMETA

Director

Manipulates technology to propagate his vision. A hopeless insomniac who experiments when he should be sleeping. Loves cuts on the edit and knives in real life. Has risked his life to get an out-of-focus shot!

Ayush Shah.png

AYUSH SHAH

Director

Calmest guy in the building. But takes offense on anything said against Sir Alex Ferguson & Shah Rukh Khan. Has a hard time convincing people that he’s angry. Worries more about his laptop skin than his own.

Akshit-Chobisa---Production-Head---What-Works.png

AKSHIT CHOBISA

Executive Producer

B.COM, M.COM, MBA – Basically has more degrees than a thermometer! Fits creativity into a budget. Never smokes, drinks or eats non-veg yet manages to be interesting. Doesn’t spend a day without playing a sport, or being one. 

website icons-sunny.png

SUNNY DIXIT

Line Producer

AD turned Line Producer. Street-smart, sweet-faced hustler who can talk his way out of any situation. A vegetarian who craves chicken dinner in PUBG. You will rarely see him without AirPods. Hung up during a conference call thrice because he couldn’t control his laughter.

Asna-Khan---Associate-Director---What-Works.png

ASNA KHAN

Colorist

Her infectious childlike enthusiasm makes boring projects fun! Never afraid of bad ideas and never far from good ones. Feels physical pain even if something is 2 millimetres out of place. Almost died shooting in a stampede outside Mannat (that’s what she thinks anyway).

CAREERS

Creativity is not just about epiphanies over coffee. It's not just about "thinking outside the box" or being the most innovative. It’s about how driven you are to understand a problem, how passionate you are to put in the ‘dirty’ work, and how persistent you are to find what truly works.
